    C-364 won't take firmware....

    Hey guys.

    I've run into this kind of thing before, both with the regular 4 series and with the "e" series as well.

    This particular machine is new to me, but the F/W is like a G-072 (very old, possibly original) and when you try to update it, the machine says "USB Stick cannot be recognized" and won't load the F/W.
    I've tried several and older USB sticks but I cannot get it to load. I've re-Iniitialized, reformatted both the HDD and the SSD, tried replacing the HDD. Disconnected it (physically) from the board. Nothing
    has worked.

    The machine has (obviously) been working for years like this, but I hated to resell it with this old of F/W.

    thanks in advance

      Did you try it leaving front door open?
      A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
      Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

        You are reselling a C364 !?

        Try the 'version up' firmware at least your customer has slightly better hope of scanning etc.

          I don't know what the version up F/W is.. and I've never done the ISW method before.

          Yes, the machine is otherwise in good shape, and just selling it on Craigslist, not through my company.

              can upload it?

                  Well, here in the states, the latest F/W for the non-e machines IS G00-72. You can find later special F/W but those are for specific issues, usually for specific customers or those with the exact same specific issues and we never install those unless it addresses the specific issues the customer has.
                  Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.
