Metrel update gone wrong??

[gazdkw82]

Anyone had any issues updating a metrel MFT??

I've tried updating the firmware and now it's not doing anything. I just get a blank screen. In fact I left it a few hours turned it on and it beeped loud and then all the relays/contacts started going crazy and screen flashing.


Help needed :-/

What was different about the other PC? (Different Operating System, Serial / USB Port etc.)
It would be good to know.... if I ever have to update mine (I had the Amendment 3 update completed with the last calibration)

I don't know. On the original pc I had to change the port to port 3 because it was listed as port 5 and there isn't a port 5 on the update programmer. The laptop itself is pretty old so who knows.

Other (newer) laptop had it as port 2 which was fine. Worked great

Metrel did say they think the updates are more stable on a stand alone desktop PC rather than a laptop

When the 18th comes around if there are any updates I will be sending mine back to Metrel!;-)

I really don't see any need to update my MI3000. It does tests and tells me the results.

In hindsight I don't really see why either
