Help!!! Failure during firmware download

[cerreta]

:uzi::uzi::uzi:

I am realing starting to hate this controller. EVERY single time I do a firmware download, I lose a whole day of life!!!!


I have a black screen on the Profilux 3. What do I do now to restore the firmware and software?

I have the cable connected to the serial port, but when running the flasher it says "No. 001 download error"

I have target set at MB91F467D
Hex File Profilux3_V501c.mhx


What next?

Okay I fixed it. Only lost a couple hours of life and added a couple gray hairs.


It would be nice to see the instructions for Flashing a dead screen Profilux 3 back to life. I could not find any instructions for this in the new manuals. The old PII manual has instructions but it talks about opening the case and moving the jumper pin.

When I flash the P3 with new firmware it seems pretty simple and reliable. Whenever I add new FW from the Profilux control, it kills the computer. In the future, can I just flash a new FW using the flasher and not Profilux Control or does teh P3 half to be dead before using the flasher?

So now I got the controller working again and connected via Internet. But, when I put web address in the browser bar it takes me to a GHL login page. I enter the user name and password and it says access denied?

I do not recall seeing this before. Where do I learn what my username and password is?

How do I reset this?

I'm beyond the flasher tool. What about this?

This was confusing, but I figured it out.

In the P3 System settings; webserver; I changed Administrator password to 123 and Guest password to 123.

Then i went back to the IP address and entered Username: Admin Password 123 and that worked.

Then I changed it to a private password and this too worked. So all is set. Now I gotta try and get the Ipod Touch application to work.

So go to your IP then page comes up to enter Username: Admin then password will be whatever you program into the P3. There are two required passwords inside the P3. I made them the same.

I actually got stumped by this myself after a recent firmware flash, as it turns out the Profilux web login is case sensitive, so make sure that "Admin" has a capital "A".

You can easily have different passwords for "Admin" and the guest account, just make sure the logins have the appropriate capitals!
