bldp9227 2068

anyone please

[Doctor Bob]

it will be some kind of 27c128 try reading it as one of the generic ones
they used several different manufacturers
you cant "flash" an eprom it needs to be erased with a UV light
Rob

[ragex]

how do i erase it with a uv light i have a tube light in the garage

[Doctor Bob]

do a search & read greenfoams thread on programming, this outlines all the equipment needed to do it.
its a specific UV wavelength needed to erase the eprom before programming

Rob

[ragex]

can someone confirm the chipsource i cant see what a generaic one is there are a few with am in from of that set of numbers u gave me

[Doctor Bob]

try setting the programmer to AMD 27C128 & read it off
it should checksum as 0012FF1B if you have read it properly

Rob

[ragex]

please look at that

[Doctor Bob]

what happens when you use the auto identify button?

[ragex]

that button is greyed out when i plug in the programmer

[Doctor Bob]

what model programmer did you get?

[ragex]

batronix usb programmer

[Doctor Bob]

i think you should contact them for support, it looks like the software automatically updates the firmware in the programmer & is striking an error

Rob

[ragex]

im not sure there is a button at the top that is or firmware updates
i hope i didnt buy this thing and it dont work
is there any other software that will work with this

[Doctor Bob]

not sure, have you read the manual or an FAQ on the website for hints on the error message?

[ragex]

nothing usefull there regarding my error

[Doctor Bob]

yeah i had a look, i think you will have to email them regarding it, send them the picture too

[ragex]

i wonder if there is a older version i can use or a 3rd party software that will work this this programer

[ragex]

hey can i get a different chip and use it? can i get a vr or vs chip and program that? i hear that there is some extra features using a vs chip? if true what kind of features

[Doctor Bob]

if youre having problems best start with something simple until you get used to it. stick with the VN programs

[ragex]

i was thinking of getting a diff chip that works lol...

[ragex]

doctor bob greenfoam any of you guys that have a baam definition xdf or ecu
i think its BAAM0265 $FB please anyone i just need it to make sure my new burner is reading correctly

[Doctor Bob]

have a look at the bin in a hex editor, theres just a bit of an offset when compared to the $5D
