Hi, ive programmed the MX29LV160CB with no problems (around 100 of them) but this BB will erase and blank test fine, but errors instantly on a write.

any suggestions?

Did you try any others, same brand?
Just make sure the chip is good.

Check the Temp. Unprotect check box see if it makes different.

i dont have anymore BB's, but it came from a working device, for the time being ive swapped it for a compatible one.

ill keep hold of this one and wait till more come in (this are modem repair jobs), when i get another BB ill try it then and see what happens and report my results.

and temp unprotect was first thing i tried, with no luck.

make sure you have voltage set at 3v if using GQ-4X with 5v it fails
