    Is it now safe to upgrade firmware?

    Hello all!

    Some time ago there was a problem with the newest firmware on the Apex Classic, if I remember correctly it was causing units to brick, or go unresponsive after some time. At that point I stopped updating, but the alert in fusion saying I need an update is irritating. It makes me think that I have a maintenance item to complete.

    So, my question is,.. is it safe to update now? Has that issue been completely resolved in the newest firmware version? I don't have a backup brain, so I really can't have this thing bricking because of an update.

    Thank you!

    If you are refering to v4.53 AB17, then it's still the current latest firmware version and Neptune have announced or released any fixes that I have seen to the issues discussed on this thread: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...987#post140987

    Hmmm. Not sure you can state that without knowing what issues are being referred to and the fact that the firmware version has not been revised since 4.53 AB17?
