    Best programmer for about 600€

    Hi guys,

    I currently have ChipMax2 universal programmer. I am looking to buy a better and faster one, but not wanting to spend a lot more money. This one is good for now, but I think I will need something better in near future. I've come a across few eeproms that this programmer wouldn't program (no support, device not on the list).

    Some of the programmers I am thinking about buying:

    - Xeltek SuperPro 610P (currently 595$)
    - Elnec SmartProg2 (currently 439€)
    - Elnec BeeProg2 (extremely fast, but overpriced, 999€ currently)
    - Any other suggestion maybe?

    What are yours recommendations? Do I stay with the ChipMax2 for now or upgrade?

      What sort of devices do you intend to program (e.g. parallel NAND Flash, SPI Flash, I2C EEPROM etc.)?
      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

          The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
          by STKR123
          Greetings badcaps community,

          I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
          So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

          Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

          I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

          These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

          I learned that desoldering...

          RT809H Programmer Firmware Corrupted
          by Teeheeze
          This is a shot in the dark, but I was just using my RT809H programmer and it got stuck in a certain state so I power cycled it. Now, the device LED just flashes quickly and does not connect to the software. I've tried to update the BIOS of it and it fails. I went so far as to remove the ROM from the programmer itself but it's some weird chip (I believe ATMEL, but I can't find any datasheet on it) so I've been unable to read the BIN from it w/ my other programmer. Chip has ATMLHC4C56BM CN written on it (I think). I'll upload an image. I have the programmer's BIN ready to program it manually. Anyone...

          ITE IT8390 (IT8390E-256) programmer "ITE Download Board 4" user manual + firmware, flashing ITE ECs on the cheap
          by H34TO
          Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...

          EMMC programmer questions
          by EazyBone
          Looking to up my game a little bit, but these programmers seem a bit daunting.

          Trying to get a device for EMMC repair, and it's very difficult to lookup all the words to find if I'm on the right track lol.

          Trying to reprogram EMMC on Sony/Hisense mainly but would like to hit a few other brands.

          My question is would either of these work? And is there a specific card reader I need for TV emmc? There is like 10-40 additional pieces that I can get but not sure what I actually need for my application only.

          I may do eeprom as well. Can someone point...
