MSP-GANG: Programming shows success, actual failure need help

HY yang

Part Number: MSP-GANG

We use TI's off-line burner MSP-GANG-PROGRAMER. Now there is a problem. I'd like to ask you for a solution.
This offline burner has been in use for several years and has been set up to burn five PCBA blocks at a time. More than a month ago, it was found that although the burner sometimes showed that the burning was completed (i.e. ticked), it was not actually successful, and the MCU was still blank. This failure occurs on different PCBA from time to time. What is the reason? How to solve it?

    Hello,

    Has there been any event to cause the MSP-GANG to stop working properly after several years; such as a power surge or something along those lines?

    Is there any sort of consistency between which specific boards are failing or which MSP-GANG channels are failing?

    Best regards,

    Matt

    Before the failure, there was no obvious power failure in the production site. What is the way to confirm the impact of the power surge?
    Now we use MSP-GANG's 1-5 position, there will be faults, but 3-5 is more likely to be faults.

    I do not know of a way to test the MSP-GANG to see if it has been compromised but hearing that it was working on the same setup for several years and then now has stopped working with no other changes to your test setup would lead me to believe something along those lines.

    Have you tried to see if the same phenomena happens on channels 6, 7, or 8?

    Has there been any other changes to your programming setup since seeing these newly occurring failures? Such as new boards, cables, software, etc.
