am29f800bt

Hi there

I have a willem pcb50 programmer.Am29f800bt chip from VW Passat ecu.Soldared in adapter ID was ok.

Then i read the chip-----ok.
Write chip----------------ok.
Verify---------------------ok.
Then ERASE CHIP--------OK.

After erase no more valid ID.I still can read the chip getting all FFFFF.Blank check-----its empty.

Then i soldered 1 new am29f400 and ID is ok.Can write read,verify.


So: 1.Can it be to erase ID?How to get it back?
2.Do i have to erase a chip before write tunned file or will it be overvritten?

1.Can it be to erase ID?How to get it back?

ID cannot be erased. Recheck chip pin contacts.

2.Do i have to erase a chip before write tunned file or will it be overvritten?

Erase chip before write new one.

Soldered again and no ID.

Ok now i will try to erase the 29f400 and we will see if the ID stays.

Ok

Seems like the am29f800 is fault.With Am29f400 everything ok---can erase and write with no problems.


Another thing:When i write back the tunned file there is a option at the right says Skipp write 0xFF.This must be enabled or not?

Result should be the same
Enabled - byte write skipped, directly to verify (erased chip has all 0xFF)
Not enabled - fullfill byte 0xFF write, then verify.
