I had been running 4.31 3B14 firmware for several weeks with no problems. All of the sudden yesterday, nothing is working. I tried browsing to the controller, and would get one or two pages to display before it would stop communicating. Tried several power cycles, including full system power cycle (all modules, all devices), and still nothing. I have tried several times to re-load firmware, most times it just hangs up here:
Loading firmware file into memory
Firmware file load complete...
Calculating Apex Start Checksum Vector
Calculating Apex Start Checksum Vector complete...
The controller address is: 192.168.1.99
Connecting to controller at address: 192.168.1.99
Connecting
Apex running in boot loader mode
Trying to connect: attempt 1
One time it actually loaded all the firmware, but at the end it said that firmware update failed.
What are my options? I am out of warranty. I called my LFS, and he tells me that he can't sell me just the head unit. Do I really need to spend >$500 for a whole kit, even though I just need the controller?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
