is the card ur using a brand new gold card or old, if its an old one it could be a faulty card.
I have been trying to load info onto a goldie as follows
Jaycar
Card Writer
1- PIC16F84
Load GFGold Dual No Updating CoCo.hex
Write - Red Light On (No Errors)
2. 24C16
Load GFGold V225 eeprom.hex
Write - Red Light Off (No Errors)
3. FMCard
Open GFGold.crd
Send
Open GFGoldPersonal.crd (with current details)
Send
When I put the card in box... I get the message
Invalid Card
I have tried different programs ICProg...LMedit... Card Writer.. FMCard
Same result
Invalid Card
Can any point me in the right direction... have I missed a step???
Thanks

I would suggest to check and make sure Watchdog Timer (WDT) was off, when programming the PIC and EEProm.

Reprogrammed with WDT unticked
Still Invalid Card message
Help
A long shot here.
My recent gold cards were much thinner than earlier ones and need a bit of tape over the end of it for the card reader of the decoder to recognise it...I have a strong 4658x decoder in which this is well known "feature"
Definitely looks like the New Gold card might be stuffed, especially if you can program the old one with no problems.

Thanks for your help
It does point to a stuffed card.. at least they are cheap unlike the other white card
the amount of cards that are faulty from new would surprise you
i remember going to jaycar to get 6 goldies for a mate so they could all go caravaning and out of those 2 were knackered straight away but hey what do you expect for 6 bucks each they are the chicken feed of cards
i dont know whether you have chicken feed on the mainland but down here its a cheapie 2 dollar type store where you get the good with the bad
fergs
3 Brand new Gold colour from Jaycar
1 works fine
2 maybe stuffed
3 going to try loading tonight
that sounds like the problem Al!, I was running 2 silvers and a goldie and one of my silvers "now" blatantly refuses to update!
and after reading in this thread about the newer version of silver & gold, the silver that refuses to update is indeed one of the new whites one from jaycar and it is showing the exact same message as invalid card.
I might have a go at reprogramming tonight as there should be no reason why it doesn't update
