Is the chip you are trying to reprogram soldered onto the mainboard and, if so, is the write-protect pin grounded?
Hi,
I have Dediprog SF100 programmer with firmware version 5.5.1
When I try to write to the chip I got an error:
“Some block protection in effect, disabling... Block protection could not be disabled!”
Is there any way to resolve this?
Does the chip you are using have a "one time program" function enabled that will permanently enable block protection regardless of the write-protect pin state? For example, if you have a W25Q64DW and both SRP1 and SRP0 are set, then the status register protect bits become permanently locked.
