>While skimming and deleting this thread, I have just been debugging a

returned
board that does seem to have a fuse/lockup problem.  I cannot reach the

Tiny26
through the ISP (STK500 cable); but the Tiny continues to operate it's

pre-downloaded
program.  I assume that the serial enable fuse was accidently turned
off 
by someone,
and now there is nothing that can be done to load new code.
The Tiny is an smt, soldered in place, and even if I could get it off 
cleanly, I don't
think there's any way to place it on the STK500.
Should I assume there's no way to move forward?
thanks,
Ken


Just cut the chip off at the pins, clean the pads with some solder wick
and install a new chip. No need for SMD rework gear.
