Cant get program to upload to Nano

Can't get program to upload to Nano
Drivers installed
COM3 port working fine
I'm using processor ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)

But I get verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0080

0xff != 0x04

Here is full log:

does not exist or your board is not connected

Hi,
I’m quite new to this but want to share my own experience with uploading problems in the hope it will help somebody. Out of absolute frustration with the continual random uploading problems and the apparent lack of definitive solutions that worked for me I decided to splash out a fiver on a hardware programmer - Hobby Components USBASP AVR Programmer and Adapter.

That completely solved my upload problems except for one further issue. My Nano clone has a 168 PA chip which was not being recognised. So, much Googling led me to install plugin MiniCore. I now have trouble free uploading and can also successfully burn bootloaders onto Nano and Uno boards. :slight_smile:
