I have been involved with a project using the 40x1. Everything up to now seems to be on target. Yesterday when I powered up the protoboard the 40x1 has developed a problem. Some of the code executes properly, like the POST part of the code but other parts do not. With a processor exchange the software runs exactly as expected.
Reloading, or erasing and reloading the bad 40X1 produces the same problems. A simple 'turn on the pins' test has errors in the pattern. Is it posible that it has gone 'sour; and if so why. I would like to avoid this happening again. Everything is running off a clean and regulated 5V supply.
BTW: Is there ANY warranty on 'buggy' chips?
If anyone out there has had this problem, please join in!
Thanks
