Problem burning chips

Anyone have any issues with the Autoprom not burning chips? Every once in a while it will work, but most times get a failed message and the chips seem to get EXTREMELY hot. Bad chip or bad burner? Emulation and datalogging are working great, just can't burn it to the chip so I can button the ECU back up. Sent an email off to craig, but no response. (I know he's busy). Just like to figure out if I need to buy some new chips or a new burner so I can finish this one up.

The chip getting hot sounds like it is inserted into the ZIF backwards.

Re: Problem burning chips

Yeah, I thought of that, and quadruple checked it, then quadruple checked it again. Wish I had a local source for them, I'd just go pick up a couple and check it. Guess I'll just order some and try it out, if they don't work guess I'll order a new burner. Just didnt' want to have to wait on shipping twice.
