How to solve the AVR microcontroller fuse bit lock-up problem?

Erasing the entire chip will also reset the fuses.

Depends on what exactly is the problem.
There is no single "the fuse bit lock-up problem".

Clock Fuses? → use external clock
Reset redefined as debugWire? → attach debugger
Reset disabled? → HV programmer needed

A simple one-fits-all solution can be found by googling for "fuse 
resetter" or "fuse doctor". This is a one-purpose HV programmer that 
issues a chip-erase.

No!
Only the lock Bits.


Only High Voltage Programming can fix all Fuse Problems.

Think twice before clicking on the start button.

All other solutions cost more than they are worth. Unless you are so 
stupid to repeat the same mistake dozens of times.

I assume that TO means situations where he locked himself out, so he 
cannot erase the chip anymore.

With a parallel programmer there is no lockout problem.

You get what you pay for.
