Hi Matt, try lightly scratching the via with your fingernail before applying flux and soldering.

The new board should be a LOT easier to install, the points line up better, and the edges of the board have castellated holes (contacts that wrap around the board edge). Try installing this PCB from the new kit, and if that fixes the problem ill send you a replacement.

I use this double-sided sticky tape, its very tough: https://amzn.to/3loiZm6

New stock is up in the ebay store: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233736263714 I added castellated holes for an easier install, and threw in 2 resistors and a dual button assembly.

When successful it will verify without any problems. If its supported by the Topall software then it should work. Select the option that bst matches the text on your chip. In my case it was 29F400B TSOP48. Lastly, if you still have problems, people have reported having best results with Topall...

I had this same problem. After a bit of research I found out that the TOP series of programmers doesn't play well with 48 pin TSOP chips (and some other 48 pin chips). I ended up making an adapter that shifts the pinout by 13 places, allowing you to program any previously unsupported chip. The...

The best way for over-seas orders is to purchase through my eBay store: HERE

It allows you to install the CPS2 digital AV interface on a CPS3 cleanly and easily.

Im working on a CPS1 version. There already is a board you can print yourself (here), but im too OCD and its not clean enough for me, lol.

Just about out of this round or orders. (that went a lot faster than i expected). For those of you that got one, please give me any feedback you have, good or bad. If i need to make any changes, id like to do so before i start putting together the next batch. Thanks!

Thank you ! :) Here are some more pics, as promised. (please forgive the crooked connector, i got impatient and hand soldered these as i was waiting for my reflow iron to heat up)

New version is in! I updated the main post with pics and info.

Yay! Im glad you got it up and running.

Update: new version designed and ordered. The new version uses a flat cable and should be a lot quicker and cleaner. Ill post pics as soon as it arrives.
