Flash Arduino Lilypad bootloader

Development Boards MicroMod

Hi, I’ve build a parallel programmer to reflash a probably damaged arduino who refuses to load programs. I’ve followed indications given here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ParallelProgrammer

When I try to flash the bootloader (working in Linux) I get the following error:

avrdude: AVR device not responding

avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1

avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.

avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA328P is 1E 95 0F

avrdude: AVR device not responding

***failed;

avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000

0x3f != 0x00

avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

Anyone knows what’s happening here?. There’s no hope to recover it??

Thanks

Hello,

When I’ve gotten bootloader errors it’s usually been because my lilypad wasn’t powered well enough. For example, the lilypad power source wasn’t sourcing enough current. How are you powering your lilypad? My recommendation is to hook your stuff up to a voltage generator and usually the problem is fixed.

Hope this helps.

I’ve tried to power it with the serial programmer and with a 9V battery connected to a voltage regulator of 5 volts.
