Hello there, I was trying to bootload atemga 8a pu using arduino nano but it fails ans shows the below massage :
Arduino: 1.8.18 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino NG or older, ATmega8"
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega8 is 1E 93 07
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
Error while burning bootloader.
Hi @aaqib_saad. I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.
NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information about the problem.
Please do this:

Thank You for acknowledgement. I have tried all the YouTube solutions and Arduino forum solutions like changing the arvdude.conf file, downloading minicore etc etc. But it all didn't work.
here is the verbose error massage :
it shows two different massage

avrdude done. Thank you.
All this won't help with such signature:
As said in the programmator output, it is a connection problem or your MCU is dead.
Good news here, today I have bootloaded and uploaded the blink sketch successfully without any change to previous wiring or software. But it only worked one time the minute after it shows the same error as mentioned earlier.
What to do next?
Can you share the wiring diagram?
I'm glad you were able to complete a "Burn Bootloader" and upload operations.
The fact it worked once indicates that your wiring is already correct. The problem with it not working the second time might be caused by an intermittent connection in the wiring. I recommend carefully checking all the wires to make sure they have good connections. It is even possible that there is an internal break in a jumper wire. If you have a multimeter with a continuity tester setting (usually marked with a diode symbol), you can easily check that there is continuity on all the wiring segments of your circuit.
If you post a clear picture of your wiring in a forum reply here, the forum helpers might be able to spot a problem.
Yeah SIR, you were right. I have checked the continuity using multimeter. there was a slight slack in one of the wires. It connect in one angle but disconnect in other angle.
By replacing that wire it worked.
Such a respite !! Thank You brother.
You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
Regards,
