    Does your home made phoenix have a 5v regulator on board? If not I reckon you've killed your card.

    I don't see a regulator on there. I would of thought a 5V supply would be the max input.

    Found this at AdTeKnik makers of Elvis

    4. -The programmer fails to program smartcards with a PIC-microcontroller like the Goldcard but it runs perfectly on Funcards.
    The coil under the programmer is particularly sensitive for damages, that's why we are sending the programmer with the disc inside the plastic bag in order to protect the components of the programmer.


    If the coil is damaged, the autodetect function will not detect and program pic-cards since the coil is used to generate the*** 13V programming voltage ***required for programming and detection of these chips. However the programmer can still program eeproms and atmel chips, and work as a smartmouse/phoenix interface even though the coil is damaged

    So one would think 12v is safe, but it stuffed the card, i have played with this card for nearly 3 years, trying everything, with Elvis, fist time i tried the pheonix and BAM!!

    youll find you need 8 volts min to erase and program the pic of a gold, sivler or emerald card. You only need 5 volts to program the eeprom , which is what you would have been doing to the gamma card. Also i dont see the image . ?!
