ff Af 89 FF ., before programing use phenix...
so using satjamen i changed fuse bits and wrote them to card , now i cant program or do a thing ., what did i lock and how can i undo this .

Try using jeepers, erase and alt. chip erase three times. That usually resets your fuses. If that don't work hope that someone smarter than me awnsers your post.

thanx man , no i tried many methods , the pin 63 and 1., and i aplied external 5 volts. i tried the special file with at programmer. no luck.
this was the 1st time ever i read a post and i did something stupid , like changing fuse bits.
its still dead., oh well anyhow thanx.

Try writing different pfgs to your atmega , either in Jeepers or Phoenix , alt and eeprom erasing before each attempt. This sometimes resets bits. Good luck.

if it cant get in the programing mode how can i try all these methods.??
if it cant see ports ...etc ., how can i push any info into the chip.??., you now what i mean.
peace

Try the bit resetter in the file section. Just released.

Use jeepers and fix fuses first. should be ff ae( fine with a1 or af) then alt erase 3 times then erase 3 times. Check fuses again and they should be fine. Now you can use phoenix. Forget trying to changes fuses in phoenix, it never works for me and I get programming error

[gobtool]

I use a program called ATmega128 factory restore. It runs in jeepers. I just erase a couple of times and it's good to go. If you can't find in the files, let me know and I will try to upload it. I downloaded elsewhere.

[gobtool]

I posted it in the files section.

[okwassup]

well it wont even see the program anymore. it wont enter program ., it cant see the port.

jeepers cant see your card?
Do you have a jumper on the card?
If you do, make sure that you jump it to program instead of run
Do not use phoenix until after you fix the fuses in jeepers first

[okwassup]

no jumpers . i tried the method with jumpping pin 63 and 1 . it didnt help., it was a nice card untill i changes the fuse bits and wrote them back. as if i told it to kill itself.
mmh never again., was a red one too. the only red one i have ., such a loss.

[okwassup]

i even ran wires from the chip hooked it up to pont prog . no luck ., cant erase cant program .

[PRCHOICE]

start jeepers and change fuses bytes
then do both erases

[okwassup]

how can i change fuse bytes if it cant see it anylonger.???

[PRCHOICE]

If jeepers isnt seeing the lpt port, reboot computer and start jeepers again. If you still have any of those wires you were talking about, remove them. Make sure that the pins on your atmega are on the programmer properly.

thanx man ., but its not the computer or programmer ., its the chip. got locked some how with that mistake.

I am getting runtime error 339 with phenix 123 says I am missing component mscomctl.ocx can not get phenix to run please help. thanks

[okwassup]

thats easy and simple to fix ., just go to the file shop and under search put library files., phenix files support files ., and they will all come up.
install them and you will be all good.
