I have had a GQ-4X programmer for years now and its always been great, for some reason recently it has not read a couple of 24C128 eeproms, different PCBs but the same product. Is there a way of protecting the chip so the hex can not be read ?
slow down the speed only for reducing the chances on hardware compatibility problem. If this still does not solve the problem, then we need a detailed testing to find out the problem.
