Re: Updating to 3.1006 do Not boot anymore

2006-04-12 by synchro1

perfect timing.  Last night I loaded 3.1.006 by removing the MIDI 
loop (d'oh!).  The update went over but the BAD DATA message appeared 
after the update.  I shut off, turned on ,and it came up showing 
3.1.006 and ran fine.  I played it for several hours with no 
problems.  However, I was workign through the User Guide & I stumbled 
into an advanced menu (apologies, I didn't write it down) and 
suddenly nothing worked, unit was frozen.  Turned off, turned on and 
nothing in the LCD, but the 2 sets of 3 vertical lights were constant 
on.

So, I will try this when I get home.  I did not update the bootloader 
since I was under the impression this was only for newer CPUs and my 
unit is quite old.

But talk about fast service!  Thanks.
