hello can anyone help us out with a issue i got with a GQ-4X programmer.
it been sent back from mcumall to say its been modified
but its the same issue as before.
also the programmer is one day out of warranty
i paid nearly $70 dollars for delivery cost
the issue im having is that it failing on hardware and voltage diagnostic
so no chips can read in
i have re-downloaded the software and usb software
i tried different leads and also connected up another power unit
and as i last resort loaded up on another pc system
but it still remains faulty
below is the error
any help on this would be great
Please remove any chip from the ZIF socket!

when i got the programmer it was working 100%
but as it always ask you to download new version
this is where the issues started.
i need mcumall to sort this out for us :(

hello ZLM
i tried that version also
when you reset the programmer it read outs are different every time
in the voltages
i selected the pic16f872 to program
when i go to the voltage test it the same errors that comes up
with out this i can not program any pics
i got other programmers but they can only read hex files
and where all my files are bin.
is there a way to read them in the pickit 3 ?
or convert them direct to hex
any advice be great
thanks |

There is a software bug in Re6.20 when testing the voltage.
The bug causes voltage testing fail if no device selected. But if device is selected, then the voltage testing will be fine.
Try this Re.6.21 version:
