I've the same equipment as yours and I've used it to program the flash a number of times. You have to first erase it and then write it.

I am using flash burner equipment called Topmax which is from the company EEtools. Inspite of following the instructions as mentioned in the manual I am unable to write to the flash. Read from flash is successful, but writes are not happening. Have any of you faced a similar problem? Do I need to take some extra steps before writes are allowed? The device continuously makes attempts to write but in the end is unable to write anything.
Regards, Sandeep.
