Hello,
I've own a Mini-Pro TL866 for a few years now and use it mainly for car ecu work. Unfortunately it is unable to protect sectors on the AM29F800 series chip, so I took the plunge and bought a GQ-4x4 off Amazon with the AD019 adapter. I can read the chip and program it without and problems, but the issue I have is that I am unable to protect sectors, I can read them to see their status but the protect and unprotect buttons remain greyed out. Am I missing something ? |

Cant see why the buttons would be grayed out if you select the right device. |

I'm unable to load a picture to show what I mean, Also it's a 29F800BT chip, not the BB version.

Top or bottom boot block configurations are the only differences between BB and BT suffixes. |

Unbelievable, no one is able to help me solve this issue ? only bought the GQ4x4 because I wanted to be able to lock the AM29F800's, looks like I've wasted my money.

Did you try to uninstall and reinstall the software? |

Ok, I've been away for a while with house moving etc.
I uninstalled & reinstalled the software, installed it on a desktop system with win7/win10 64bit dual boot, but still the option to lock sectors is greyed out
I have no more chips to try it on, i'm down to my last one so I can only assume that the GQ4x4 is unable to lock sectors on this particular eeprom |
