atmega328 dead?

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

hello,

i have bought an atmega328 from ebay because i am building an led cube. however, on the ebay page were written that it has uno bootloader on it(i have an arduino duamilanove). so i tried to burn the duamilanove bootloader on it using my arduino as isp, however, it failed. so i plugged the new atmega directly in my arduino to test if it works, and it didnt. as usual, when pluggin the arduino in rx and tx flash sometimes, but then the led on pin 13 flashes(as usual too) sometimes, but really dark, and when i push reset, nothing happens. i tried to upload some code, but got a not in sync error:

avrdude: Send: 0 [30] [20]
avrdude: Send: 0 [30] [20]
avrdude: Send: 0 [30] [20]
avrdude: Recv:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: Send: Q [51] [20]
avrdude: Recv:
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

i have win7 64 bit and im using the arduino 0023 ide, and i tried setting both, uno and duamilanove as board when uploading(uploading still works with my old atmega)

greetings

Kinsi:

That was completely unnecessary. A optibook (Uno) based chip will work fine in a Duemilanove.

using my arduino as isp, however, it failed. so i plugged the new atmega directly in my arduino to test if it works, and it didnt.

What was the failure? Depending on how the programming process failed, it may indicate the chip is damaged or just that there isn't a functional bootloader on it anymore.
