Hi,
I recenting bought a HanLin V3 and have been having the most frustrating time updating the firmware.
I always get stuck on the "Checking update data please wait" screen. It never progresses further than that regardless of the 4 different SD cards I have used. I have also tried formatting them all with the Panasonic SD formatter that I saw recommended somewhere on these forums as well.
My question is, is there some trick to getting it to work? Am I holding in the V+ and power buttons too long or not long enough?? I usually hear two beeps and let the buttons go.
I have redownloaded the file multiple times with different web browsers and from different sources with always the same results!!
I am at my wits end about now. I am new to ebook readers and gathered from reading these forums that I can use other types of firmware. (I think Open Inkpot was one.) Would this help me and can I ruin anything using these??
Sorry for the longwinded post. Thanks in advance for any help that's provided.
