New topic for the same problem as always; i posted on other members thread but no response there so i did this new topic just in case someone takes a look here

Since i have the GQ-4X4 (1 year and so) When I go to write M27c160 I get a Failed error almost instantly.

Little change with last software upgrade 7.11

Resuming (what i did / test)

Programmer GQ-4X4
Driver 3.0
Software 7.11, (supposed fix with ADP-054, 27C1024,27C160 unstable issue.?????)

I burned successfully just one 27c1024 with a bin file, but when tried with the same chip and other file have no success. (checked the files and they where all righ CRC, etc.)

Worst problem is 27c160 / M27c160 (no success at all)

Using this config i have no success when verify, only positive thing is that now (with software 7.11) sometimes i get 100% writing but no success at verify. (sometimes i don't reach 100%)
Before upgrading software to 7.11 There always was Write Failed at the same address every time (after 1 second writing or inmediatly)

I tried editing de device list settings using vcc to 6.5v (recommended by some users in other programmers) on 27c160 / m27c160 (it crashes the writing at 0% / 1 second...) and also the m27c160 eprom chip i used for that test appears to be damaged now (after repetitive UV erase no blank check success)

Last try a few minutes ago...

21576h_multi.ic27.
ID check skipped
Writing... Buffer
Elapsed time: 2.80 seconds.
Write failed, Address=0x0014FC, Buffer=0x12 Device=0x02


- Tried 2 different adp-054 adaptors
- 6 different USB Cables
- 3 Different Computers (usb 2.0 / 3.0 // Win 7 / 8 / 10)
- Voltage Diagnostic ALL OK
- J5 in V3 / V4 position and without the jumper too
- Obviously J1 in 1-2 position.
- 9V 1A power supply with correct polarity /also without it, just USB.
- UV Erase for 30 to 45 minutes
- slow write -2 , -1, normal, etc
- Blank Check OK ( with standard settings VCC 5.5)
- Reading OK when blank

Using M27c160 Chips (ST M27c160)

ZLM please any suggestion? it looks like the problem with M27c160 family and 27c1024 is not solved with this software upgrade.

I have no idea what else should i try.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

This problem has been fixed 3 years ago on ADP-054 V4.1.

All current ADP-054 in stock are V4.1. Old version is discontinued.

Here is the line from my devices.txt:
Name="M27C160",ID="XXXX",Class="27C800",Category="EPROM",MFG="ST",CodeSize="2097152",Adapter="ADP-054, ADP-055 16 BIT EPROM ADAPTER",RVpp="5V",WVCC="6.5V",WVPP="12.7V";

I can successfully write M27c322, M27c801, and other chips. I erare each chip thoroughly and blank check before writing.

I'm on Windows 10 64 bit, USB 2.0 (can't get 3.0 working), USBPrg 7.11.

Any other tips you can offer? Thank you!



Defective chip?



There's always a chance, but given that I've almost never had a bad chip from this supplier and the whole internet has problems with 27c160's on the GQ4x4, I find it unlikely.

Edit: Forgot, the chips read fine, including up to the part that fails.



Chinese sometimes relabel smaller capacity chips. What address does it stop reading data?

That is self evident.





As obvious as it may be, its what solved my problem and am just trying to help josiah rectify his



Sure, if one doesn't read instructions before starting to use the adapter success rate must be low.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it didnt help. I have added the line in the devices.txt file to the M27C1024 as instructed but write still fails.

Writing... Buffer
Elapsed time: 0.04 seconds.
Write failed, Address=0x00000E, Buffer=0x7E Device=0xFF
Write failed

These chips all erase and program fine in my other TOP3000 programmer

I understand this is a community run support forum and therefore nobody is required to help however i have received tips and info before and they were appreciated. Now as i don't know what i'm looking for or what to change in this devices.txt (i just use my programmer to burn bios chips for old game consoles) any tips on how to fix the issue?

Thanks




You should always compare your devices datasheet with the settings of any programmer (not only from MCU Mall) to prevent damages to both.



+1 Yes, wise advise.

Error is

Write Failed, Address=0x000000, Buffer=0x2E, Device=0x2F



Did it occur to someone to have a look at the datasheet?

Guess not, otherwise one would have seen that a simple correction to the devices.txt file will fix this issue.

Good catch!

No, no answer at all, so then i came to the forum and for my surprise there is a lot of troubles with this programmer... Also so many cases with this same issue (burning 27c family, etc..)

Very dissapointing

Alot compare to what? Other budget programmers don't even have a support forum even less a community.

If you need superior service and support go with the big players like Xeltek but keep in mind it's not in the same price range.



I mailed them from a gmail account... dont think they go to their spam...

Please guys stop sucking their socks...

This product is crap in many aspects, for many people works, it is enough, i know that many other programmers will have more support, etc for the price, but this **** must do what is supposed... im not asking it to make a barbecue, just program a listed chip... not magic...







Don't you have a serious email address for your work or at least one from your ISP?

If it's crap stop using it.



+1 on both points.

This product is crap in many aspects, for many people works, it is enough, i know that many other programmers will have more support, etc for the price, but this **** must do what is supposed... im not asking it to make a barbecue, just program a listed chip... not magic...







Don't you have a serious email address for your work or at least one from your ISP?

If it's crap stop using it.

Simply add

,WVCC="6.2V"

to the concerned device line.

Sorry, without trying to sound obnoxious or unappreciative i purchased a programmer and the required adapter to program the chips i require. I don't think its my responsibility to start checking the software's devices for errors?

I understand this is a community run support forum and therefore nobody is required to help however i have received tips and info before and they were appreciated. Now as i don't know what i'm looking for or what to change in this devices.txt (i just use my programmer to burn bios chips for old game consoles) any tips on how to fix the issue?

Thanks

Error is

Write Failed, Address=0x000000, Buffer=0x2E, Device=0x2F



Did it occur to someone to have a look at the datasheet?

Guess not, otherwise one would have seen that a simple correction to the devices.txt file will fix this issue.

Technical support: support@mcumall.com



And you got no answer?



No, no answer at all, so then i came to the forum and for my surprise there is a lot of troubles with this programmer... Also so many cases with this same issue (burning 27c family, etc..)

Very dissapointing



Alot compare to what? Other budget programmers don't even have a support forum even less a community.

If you need superior service and support go with the big players like Xeltek but keep in mind it's not in the same price range.

Do you work for the anti sock sucking police?

Crap? We surely don't have the same definition of crap.

No, and no official reply or solution to this problem from mcumall i have been reading the forum and many other forums and so many people have problems with this product, the mcumall service, etc... So is dissapointing... im from argentina, so i have no chance to send the programmer to mcumall for testing/replace. I fails from the very first day.

I will not recommend this brand to anyone at all

J2 is for compatibility with older programmers that only have 32 pins ZIF sockets.



But make sure the extra address lines pins are there.

Thanks, i don't think i need to use any jumper settings on J2 because i have this programmer GQ-4X4 + ADP-054 Adapter similar as shown on next pic

J2 is for compatibility with bigger EPROM devices that require the extra address lines that are not present on the 32 pins ZIF.

It seems like there's supposed to be something on J2 also, but the documentation is so incomplete, there's no way of knowing.

Did you ever have a successful burn?



The programmer comes without a jumper set on J2, where you have 4 pins, i don't have access to the manual at this moment, but i never used any jumper settings for burning any eprom chip ever until now.

I found a line into adapter description that point this

Jumper setting on board:
J1 2-3 short 27c322, 1-2 short for all others
J2 is extended address pin header, it is only for 42 pin EPROMs. Connect those pins to programmer address pin header, not the ZIF socket.
J5, chip compatibility jumper. Only change it if the chip has inconsistent reading, writing.

What does it mean? about j2... 26c160 are 42pin so...

Where should be set that jumper? in A21/A20 or P1/A19... may be there is the answer to this problem?

Also on Adapter PCB at right side it mention this

"J2 Only used on 32 pin ZIF pogrammer for 42pin Eprom."

What does it mean? the only place a 42pin eprom fits is into the larger zif socket (right one)

i feel confused

Please any recomendation

Thanks

What do you mean? The adapter documentation is quite complete and explicit.
