Hi There, I started playing with pro mini recently. It was working fine for few days, but now I can’t upload sketches any more. If I try to upload any sketch, I am getting this error message “avrdude.exe: verifying ...avrdude.exe: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000, 0xff != 0x0c,avrdude.exe: verification error; content mismatch. I tried to burn the boot loader again without success( tried from AVRASP and uno, no luck). But I am able to detect the pro mini avrdudess and read the fuses without any problem, fuses are like below. Is there a way to recover from this state or Did I fried the pro mini?

It could be a corrupted bootloader. Do you have a programmer or a Arduino Uno that can be a programmer. In the Arduino IDE is an option in the menu to burn the bootloader. That sets the fuses as well.
Koepel:
Interesting question.
Do you notice that he told you what the fuse values were ? I wonder how he did that?
Enable verbose upload, attempt to burn bootloader with your isp programmer, and post output here

Thanks for your response. I have attached verbose log here..

Error while burning bootloader.
Try setting the extended fuse to 0xFD, which is the same as 0x05, except it sets the unused bits to "unprogrammed" (1).

I would feel comfortable calling the Pro Mini bad at this point, if you are confident of your wire connections and solder joints. It's probably time to get another one, they cost about $1.50 to $4 USD.
Interesting that only the efuse refuses to burn...
When buying bad quality, pay the lowest price, since the quality is equally bad for all those cheap clones.
