Can't upgrade firmware - PB 302
Hi all,

(firstly, hoping you are all having a Merry Xmas - it's around 1:30 pm Xmas Day in Oz),

I have a new 302, and have followed the instructions as faithfully as I can to upgrade the firmware. It helps little that the instructions refer to "Ok" and "Upper Page" buttons, and the manual calls them something else.

Regardless, I have tried using the scrolling 1/3 and reset buttons, and the scrolling 2/4 and reset buttons. (The scrolling 1/3 buttons are higher on the unit than the 2/4.) I have re-downloaded the update file, and tried re-formatting the SD card.

I do connect the device to power (USB and mains) prior to attempting this.

All that happens is that the "Bookland" screen flashes up and then it disappears; after about 5 seconds the process repeats. I have kept this up for minutes at a time.

Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Cheers,
