I've spoken to John Ballance today about another customer who tried
re-flashing his Iyonix a month or so ago and was presented with an error
like 'Erased, unable to flash'!
The computer was sent to John who was able to trace the fault down to the
PSU outputing more than 4V on the 3.3V line!
New PSU fitted and board reflashed via JTAG header, machine A.O.K.!
It would be interesting if others could measure their 3V3 line.
10 year old PSUs can be problematic.
So CJ, email or phone John Ballance who should be able to sort you out.
(Unfortunately we don't have the special JTAG hardware or software necessary)
