Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the info. That sounds a bit better than the chip replacement
(though I will try that if nothing else works, thanks Crazy Casta).

Did you come across an instruction to follow this procedure? Can it be done
with mspdebug?
As far as I read this morning about BSL operations, the mass erase deletes
both program and information data. Isn't loss of information data going to
bring me more trouble? :)

Best regards,
Kuba

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
