Bootloader Problem

Hi

I'm having a Problem with my Arduino Duemilanove. I changed the Atmega Chip because my A-D Converter stopped to work. I ordered a replacement Chip (shop.myavr.ch/index.php?sp=article.sp.php&artID=100077)
So I'm stuck with the Boot loader Problem. I saw the tutorial how to Burn a Boot loader without the AVR-ISP. (arduino.cc/en/Hacking/ParallelProgrammer) I also installed the Program, that was suggested, but without the success.

Can someone help my with the error message:

avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA328P is 1E 95 0F
avrdude: AVR device not responding
***failed;
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
0x05 != 0x07
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

The parallel programmer is like a lot of unofficial uses for parallel ports, it works sometimes on certain chipsets and certain configurations of a parallel port. You could try messing with the different settings in the computers BIOS, it may work.

Hi Christian.
Please cheq that you bios setup at the parallel por mode is STANDARD, and not bidireccional, enhanced or similars.

Thank you for the good responses, but I already tried the different settings for the parallel port.

On the Chip there ist not EXACTLY the same name; The original names Atmega328P-PU and my replacement was shipped as Atemega328p-20PU, could there be the problem with the connection failure?

I have found the solution to my Problem, it was the USB-Driver. I updated from the FTDI homepage and magically it worked :smiley:

I Used the Arduino itself to load the Bootloader via this http://www.geocities.jp/arduino_diecimila/bootloader/index_en.html tutorial.
