I have a willem eprom programmer and everytime i start up the software, the programmer shuts off (red light goes out). i restart the computer and the light goes back on, but then then when i load the software again, it shuts off. i tried emailing sivava.com, but they havent gotten back to me yet. any suggestions?
That's normal. Click on Help / Test Hardware and it should say 'Device Present'. The red LED being on is basically a warning not to insert or remove a chip. It'll light up during programming.
hmm, i tried the test hardware and it says Hardware error: Check power and connection. the yellow light is on, so i dont know what could be the problem, because i used it last week for the first time and it worked fine.
i got it, the chip was upside down!! i am retarded, i had no clue that it had to be in a certain way.
