I can not communicate with my BP-1148, BP-1200, BP-2100, BP-1400, BP-2200 after software upgrade.

Summary
Procedure to correct Demo Mode problem with BP-1148/1200/2100 and BP1400/BP2200

Details
NOTE: Final software version for BP-1148/1200/2100 is BPWin 4.73

Final software version for the BP-1400/BP-2200 is BPWin 4.80.

Both versions can be located from our software download page:

http://www.bpmicro.com/web/bphome.nsf/webpages/Downloads.htm?opendocument&Cat=Software


Bios or software upgrade issues with the listed programmer models may keep you from communicating with these final software versions.

If it is a software issue, the problem should be rectified by following this procedure:

Uninstall your current BPWin software version via your PC Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.

Install BPWin 4.47

ftp://ftp.bpmicro.com/dnload/bpw_v4470.exe

The software is called bpw_v4470.exe

Once 4.47 is installed, be sure to install a socket module on your programmer site(s). The programmer should be powered up with solely green LEDs on all site(s).

Launch BPWin

When the software finds the programmer and socket module, go to Tools/Programmer Diagnostics and run the test. No need to run the memory test. Leave the socket module installed the entire time. Make sure there is no device in the socket. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUN VERIFICATION OF CALIBRATION.

Note your programmer bios version which will be output during the test.

You should also see the dialog, "EEPROM written successfully"


Once the test has passed, install v4.73 (link copied below) and you should have communication.

ftp://ftp.bpmicro.com/dnload/bpw_v4730.exe

If this procedure does not correct the issue, please contact BPM Technical Support at: tech@bpmicro.com and advise your programmer's bios version.

If you are unable to communicate at all, either try another PC or LPT cable.
