WB trouble shooting

I have an LM-1 WB an was hoping some one here had some knowledge with this unit . First off the unit was working okay was having some connectivity with TunerPro . The 9V battery was dead so i put a new one in an was gonna do a update an reset my settings . Went to the site downloaded the latest version an picked the latest firmware to install . Had the serial cable hooked up went to LM program an turned on LM-1 , selected update firmware an started to install , it showed an error so quick i think half way thru . I was not expecting it an it went away so i could not see what it said . Shut things down an went to try again now it won't detect the serial cable ? So next i went an inserted the power cable to see if it will turn on an that does not work also ? I find it very suspicous that the unit went bad just like that any help or suggestions greatly apprecieated .

Re: WB trouble shooting

After some or alot of searching i guess i should not have done the firmware update . The newer version corrupts the older version some how an then you get the blank screen like i have . What is recommended a factory flash does anybody have the software so i can do the factory flash myself instead of sending it Cali for the re-flash ?

Re: WB trouble shooting

Would be better to post this in the DIY Prom or DFI & ECM section.

Re: WB trouble shooting

I'd NEVER recommend a firmware upgrade unless you NEED it !
When a firmware upgrade goes bad, you are truly screwed.
That can't be fixed in the field, even by the factory.

Id contact innovate, and see if they can help. Sounds like the firmware is corrupt, and it wont boot properly anymore.
