MSP-GANG: About defective MSP-GANG Production programmers

Part Number: MSP-GANG

Tool/software:

Hello;
 
I am Ismail Akay from Eae Technology. I work as a production manager.
 
We have been using the MSP-GANG Production programmer product for more than 10 years with satisfaction.
 
However, over the years we have accumulated a group of defective devices as shown in the attached photo.
 
We hope to be able to use these devices again. We would be very happy if you could support us in this matter.
 
Thank you in advance for your valuable answers.
  • Hi Ismail, can you share more on what exactly the issue is that you are seeing is? Is it the same for each of the defective ones or are there different issues among them?

  • Hello Brian

    When installing embedded software on the devices we have mass-produced, the process is interrupted and when we try again, we cannot program. When we check through the software, we observe that the relevant port is damaged. We switch to another port and continue our operations until the eighth port fails. So I can say that they all have port failures.

  • Hin Ismail, ok thanks for the additional details. Let me discuss this internally and see if we have seen this issue before. I will keep you posted!

  • Hi Brian,

    I am attaching the Self Test Report from two devices that I believe you can analyze the problem in more detail.

    Thank you.
