Elnec Programmer

ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Hmm, very nice!

Παρακαλώ!

Google is your translator?

Is your programmer Parallel or USB? I 'm thinking of buying the new Smartprog2 with the USB connection. It is annoying. I am sure that the problem in the first place comes from the M/B (an MSI 945P Platinum). But could not have success in using it succesful although Selftest and Selftest plus are succesful.

Nope, i used Etaco. I always cross my finger when i use something like that... you know why!

My Programmer is Parallel. It's a BK Precision 844A, which is the re-labeled of ELNEC SmartProg. I wouldn't hesitate to jump to the USB version and keep the other one on another computer if the problem arise here. 'Till now, everything i have from BK Precision never failed. No coincidence why they're on the market since over 50 Years

Anyways, i did few search here and there and talked with some of my buddy who have the same programmer i have or any ELNEC... nobody have heard/experiment the problem you have... I agree it's annoying.

Sure if i hear something i will let you know.

and... Παρακαλώ as well

Thanks Steve. I am sure it is not a problem from the programmer side. 100%.

It is working absolutely fine on other computers. So it is something with the port or the ... connector. I susspect something here.

The translator of ECTACO is realy great, but ... dangerous sometimes. Imagine a typo in ash, typed as ass! And there are many much worse...!

Thanks again,
Ioannis

Yup, i think it's the case for all on-line translator anyway... this is why i always cross my fingers

Sometimes when i need to laugh a little bit, i use the Google to translate a English page. It's like my english (some already heard me on the phone) but worst and comes from an official site

For some english slang, i refer to Wikipedia.

Best luck with your programmer problem. As i said, if i hear something here, i'll let you know.

Yeah! I got it! I can't believe it... How stupid can I be, I did't think of it first place.

When I needed to connect a small device like a hasp for an old program, between the Parallel Port and the cable that drives the programmer, suddenly it worked. Very good indeed!

From that I suppose it's the connector of the Motherboard a little more loose than normal and one and only pin was not making contact...

What a waste of time for nothing...

Now I can get rid off my old computer. At last!

You are French, aren't you? Is this why you think is funny your english talking?

Thanks for sharing the case.

You are French, aren't you?

Yes i am French... but Canadian! (cool down Alain )

Is this why you think is funny your english talking?

Talking and writing... but no i don't only think... i'm sure of it! Bah as long everybody understand one day or another...

Enjoy your new PC Ioannis.
