after trying to program an ls1 flash chip i feel my willem pcb50b programmer is not working properly as same chip will read different each time i read the chip via the program supplied and looking at the buffer its never the same.. tried three chips and different bin files and still wont work with the pcm but stock flash chip works fine when reinstalled to pcm.. so ive come to this post im looking for a new programmer and would like to hear input from other members on ones there using with out any dramas.

thanks in advance anthony

Might add as well my programmer alsways come up with vpp errors will wrote a file than wont verify it says error at the first line in the buffer. Just reali getting frustrating with it.

mcumall.com gq-4x with an adapter for your chip is a good programmer. Information about recommended hardware etc is in the guides in the FAQ thread (see link near the top right).

Awsome thanks ill check out those programmers and ill check out the link for a bit of read

if it errors at first address its normally a pin connection error.the joys of the newer gqx-4 is it lets you know if a pin is not connected LOL

is that via software update or actual newest burner. Cos mine doesn't tell you and the latest software won't detect the burner. Burner is not old, about 18 months.

What version are you on VLAD? I had to upgrade after going to Windows 10 not sure on the version number of hand. Pretty sure it was a minor revision 6.3x from memory. Had to do it manually every start up it says checking for latest software but never auto updates.

I just ordered a gd4x and psop44 adapter thru dark wire online so hopefully it work out and i can throw the pcb50b one in the bin haha

I'm still on 5.xx as any of the version 6 don't work. doesn't connect to the programmer. Big G had the exact opposite problem with his. Wouldn't connect on version 5 and 6 fixed the problem.


I'd say its something to do with my bucket of shit laptop thats 12 years old.
