if your certain its not shitty tools or board boot pin trace damaged causing lack of boot mode. Then i'd say the 400/800 chip is dead
Desolder and try read on a programmer it will confirm if chip dead or not, probably is tho.
Thanks for coming back to me again,
I used all the software tools from here so I'm sure that bit's fine but I do have one final cable left to try which is the KKL one I use for Neff.
Only reason that I haven't yet is because I've been reluctant to change the number in that lead as it works so faultlessly with Neff,but hey I'll try it,I guess I'ts worth it.
If it's a no go then I guess it's finished?
If it is done,is that chip available.I would have a go at replacing it.Or are there other reasons it's not that simple?
Many thanks again and all the best
O.T.
