I needed to update a few frequiencies on my HT1250 and when i attempted to write the codeplug to the radio, the radio displayed "PROGRAM" and computer said "CODEPLUG WRITE FAILED" and now my radio won't power up when I turn it on. Can anyone give me a rough diagnosis or an opinion on if i should send it in to a tech, or is the radio dead. Thanks

Also I just attempted to update some frequiencies on my CDM1250 UHF and it gave me the same "WRITE FAILED" message and now my radio is displaying "EEPRM CS ERROR". I don't think my computer/software is completly to blame. I put in a codeplug on a new HT750 i just recieved and updated another HT750.

Try to program it again.If this will not work get the homemade lab upgradetool and fix it.
I hope you have a copy of the tuning data.

Program it with a Codeplug that you had from before it cause it to give you the CS Error.

I programmed mine with a Moto Ribless and worked find ever since.

I even sent it to a Moto Dealer and they said they would need to send it to Mother Moto.

If you do a search on CS ERROR I'm sure you will find the same answer. Good Luck.

I would definetly take a look at the quality of the equipment being used to connect your radios to the PC. If you've bricked two in a row there may be a bad cable in there somewhere.

There are a few tricks to getting a corrupted EEPROM resolved at home. Like the other poster said, search the forums for EEPROM CS (you'll even find a thread from me, same problem on a CDM).

For your CDM, DO NOT program it at the control head if it has a remote kit installed. Use the 20pin in the back of the radio.

Where can I find the warris lab tool? Im having the EEPRM CS Error on a uhf 1250, model AAH25RDH9AA6AN

That would be something you would need to get through Motorola but to my knowledge there isn't a 'lab' tool for that series. The only software that I'm able to see as a dealer/depot is the CPS, Global Tuner, and firmware.

Ive got the cps and firmware stuff, but I am getting tired of blasting this radio.

EEPROM CS error is the codeplug checksum...something went afoul during programming, and it is not hard to overcome.

Most of the time, a simple codeplug rewrite is in order and this usually cures the trouble.

Chek your cables for a break in the data line, or a hardware conflict with your computer.
