Im sure you would not of damaged much, you should be able to replace any parts you have burnt out quite easily, most will be available from maplins.
Other than that its time for a new programmer.

where in the town are you based?

[rick2021]

im near freeman street m8, have you got a pic of the programmer and the points that you shorted out ?
There a lot of very informative people on here and pics would go a long way into sorting this one out m8

[matt26]

There is no visible marks of anything blown guys, so nothing i can really take a pic of. The led shows as normal just get error syncronising card.

Ill look into this some more for ya m8, like I said before im new to these programmers, so this will be a learning experience for me.
1 thing to try though, would be another power supply and get the possibility that u have damaged that out the way before anything else.

BORROWED AN ELVIS TONIGHT and that wont go either! Changed com port and serial cable. No joy. changed power supply, no joy. My elvis is doing what my mates one is. Error sync card! What are the settings in mp 090 to work with a fun4 on the cable hack thingy?It maybe that but i cant see how?
I'm stuck!!!!!!!

[rick2021]

have you tried a different card m8, it might just be that you have f**ked the card up.

[matt26]

[rick2021]
