Hi
I'm trying to write a 95040 but the GQ-4X says verify failed.
I was doing this with the chip still on the board.
I then desoldered the chip and tried again and it's the same problem.
I tried with speed 0 too.
Does it mean the chip is damaged?
Thanks

make sure you erased the chip and passed blank check.

if it has no pin contacting issue, then most likely the chip is bad. Try a slower speed too.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
What i normally do, open the file i need to write then click on "write", it usually works, but not on this chip.
Are you saying i must erase and do blank check first? before writing?

Should i use auto mode?

Hi again

I just clicked on "erase", and it says " this function is not supported on this device, or this chip does not need erase".
Then i clicked on "blank check", and it says " chip is blank ".

So it looks like the chip is blank, so i tried to write on it again and it writes ok but then it says " verify failed ".

What do you think?

I'm confused now!

On the GQ-4X, i tried many times to write the chip, and it keeps saying "verify failed".
I tried with slowest speed -2 and it's the same.

then i tried my other programmer, Wellon VP990, and it worked, it read ok, write ok, verify ok.

I then tried again in the GQ-4X and it says "verify failed" and it won't read it ok, it comes with different file data.

Deos this mean my GQ-4X is faulty?

Strange thing is that if I do blank check on GQ-4X it says "chip blank" but on VP990 it reads ok and is not blank.

Try any other SPI chips, if the GQ-4X has same symptom, then the problem may come from the programmer. Otherwise the chip may have some compatibility problem.
