C14 replaced, Jtag connected but still no joy bringing Eurovox Max (blue) to life

Just use SkyMax. This time around erase twice more, do not try to write. Power off after each erase. On the third pass, do not erase just bypass this and go directly to write. It may take a few attempts.

 

After finally getting an new power supply for my PC I can provide some feedback.

I've tried the method you suggested but still no joy. So that you can 'see exactly what I'm doing I wrote down each step and the resulting message from SKYMAX.

I understand your frustration as I have gone through it At one stage it was a corrupt TSOP file that would allow me to erase but not write. Try this one from Eamos here you will need winrar, (or any other zip utility) to unpack it first.

Try it out and see how it goes. But I can see it has erased and the trap is fine, so writing should be successful. But as said a corrupt TSOP file caused this for me sometime last year.

 

hi,i flashed my eurovox max genuine with ev2 software and now i have 4 horizontol line on my display,does that mean i have to jtag
