This question already has an answer here:
I have been using my arduino uno for many months and it worked very well even till today morning but an hour ago I tried to upload a sketch and arduino IDE showed my this "avrdude: stk500_getsysc(): not in sync: resp =0x00" , at first I thought maybe I burned my atmega32 chip but I bypassed reset and gnd with a jumper wire and opened serial monitor and my atmega32 still printing serial data,so problem must be something else,and also my led13 isn't blinking.Is it problem with bootloader?if so how can I reload bootloader in my board without using another arduino?
