Whats probaly the faulty component on motherboard causing the problem??


I have a Delta-L that seems to be doing this. Everything looks right (but ofcourse it's not) at the eyes of a begginer like me.

I use good power supply, (at least I think it's good).It's a Seventeam420.
And the PSU is working fine in a AN7 system.

OBS:When I say killing, it's not just aoubt messing the code, but it looks to

be destroying the chip.I conlude this after i have hot-flashed a 49LF020A

(256KB) (with an AN7) , and Uniflash said it flashed correctly.So after

trying the chip in the Delta-L it didn't come to life.So a took the chip out

and tried to reflash it with the AN7, but this time Uniflash can't flash

anymore, it show red parts in the progress bar,when about 65-70% is

concluded.It looked like this http://img194.echo.cx/img194/9025/imagem8nr.jpg

.The same happened with a W49V00AP (should be the same as V00A).

I don't think it has anything to do with a locked chip since first time flashing it didn't show any problems at all.[/img]

The flashing circuitry might be totally messed up...

The circuit on the Delta-L right??

Is there a way I can test things to discover whats the problem?
