I understand that I should be asking this at the Moates site..figure wouldn't hurt to ask here. Been a long time since I worked with Moates and TunerPro.
If I drop in a new chip (27SF512) into the Flash Burn, load a bin and verify the bin load....checks out!
But ...When I hit the "erase" button with the same chip...the message indicates "erase succeeded" BUT when I "check for blank" it indicates chip is not blank and I can't get a successful bin load after that.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Is the chip loaded in the burner correctly? Rows of pin furthest away from the zif handle needs to be occupied. btdt
10-4.....drop in a new chip, load the modified test bin from TunerPro, loads properly, is buffer verified, can be read and sent back to TunerPro. Then when I try to erase and install the final bin...says the chip is erased..but not empty (and can't be used again).Quote:

Often SST27SF512 "clones" won't work with the Flash & Burn.:mad1:

Hmmm I've never had an issue with blank check except when I used the wrong offsets???
I'll see if I have other chips to try.
Call Moates Tech Support!
Do not remember the Tech guys name, but he remoted into my laptop and fixed the issue in about 2 minutes.
Had something to do with a firmware update that did not go with the burner that I had just received.
Save your time and frustration, just call Tech Support.

Can you suggest a source for quality proms?
Even tried them in my MiniPro...
Thanks

Moates has a page about "Fake Chips": http://support.moates.net/fake-27sf512-chips/
Moates sells 27SF512 chip that work with the Burn 2: http://www.moates.net/c2-sst-27sf512....html?cPath=26

I use a BX32P for programming chips. https://www.newark.com/batronix/bx32...-ii/dp/53M6869
Cheap chips or clones require expensive programmers.:mad1:
The BX32P is MASSIVE overkill for a single project.

FYI I also have a MiniPro TL866CS programmer (which I like & comes with many adapters)...upgraded the drivers for Windows 10. Same result - indicates chip is erased...but then shows that it's not blank.
Have you called and talked with Moates tech support??
Had the same exact problem, and they fixed it in a few minutes. Since he was remoted into my laptop, I did not see everything he did, but it had something to do with the version of firmware in my tool.
Call Tech Support??
Thanks trlrider...as mentioned earlier...it was a case of bad chips.Quote:
