I have had to resolve a problem chip by erasing it with Sniper "first" then follow the above directions.
It's funny. I have two $250 paperweights because I tried this a couple months ago.

It might not happen to everyone, but I don't use PF anymore. It never worked with the Sniper burner for programming or erasing and unfortunately, I think the software incompatibility fried two of my blanks. I'm not saying it's Bill's fault in any way.....it just seems to be one of the many chip problems I seem to have that nobody else does or nobody wants to claim happens. Flippin' TS blanks are garbage anyway.
