I have a brand new (just got today) Infinity USB unlimited and i can't get it to program the cards i have. I have funcard4 (brand new) and an atmega 163, it always gets stuck on the "write loader" or "erase CPU" part of the process. It also hasn't managed to detect any of the cards i have entered into it too.

I am using XP professional with sp2, i have tried using every USB port my computer has. I have the latest software for it, version 2.65, even tried 2.63 still no use.

Tried changing USB cable - no good
Tried to setup on different computer - same problem
Same problem with funcard and ATmega163

Has anyone else had these probs
Got to the stage now I can't see being anything but a faulty programmer.

Have you followed the USB Infinity tutorial which i have marked as "sticky" it shows how to set the programmer, are you putting the card in the right way, the sim bit needs to be pointing downwards and goes in first, also you need to select settings as mentioned in the tutorial, if you still have any problems, i think it would your programmer it might be faulty.

Thanks for the responses,
I've tried:
3 different computers, 2 with XP home, one with XP Pro
Reloaded the drivers
Changed the usb cable
Tried different cards, funcard4 & Atmega163 & orig N*L card
Tried latest software & 4 previous versions, which also changed the firmware
Using auto detect and manual selection of card type
It doesn't detect the CPU for any of the cards
When erasing hangs at erase
When reading hangs at read (what ever file I'm reading)
When writing hangs at write (what ever file I'm writing)
WB Electronics forum shows a couple of posts with the same and they advised a replacement

Unit will be in the post today and will get replacement tomorrow

yes that would definately be a faulty programmer, as it not erasing, reading or writing.
