    Many problems with Aficio MP C305 SPF

    Hello,
    I have a problem updating System/Copy: E44 when reading from SD card.
    Now I get stuck on "Waiting for firmware update data..." message every time I restart the machine, even if I don't insert the SD card into the slot.
    I had some errors before the update, like address book error, authentication module and websys.mod, home web page shows "404 Not Found" (and still having them)
    Now I can't access SP mode (beeps every time I try)
    The printer is in an unused state.
    I read in some threads that I need to change the NVRAM. I have no idea where can I find them on the board, and how to proceed.
    If you have any idea, I appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Boot the machine without the SD card, then

    Clear modes, 1,4,3 ,clear/stop, clear/stop, clear/stop, reboot

      Hello
      thank you for your reply
      I've already done this, it only clears the E44 error
      The update message appears again whenever I restart

        Then download the System firmware again and put in on a different SD card. Try it again.

          Apparently you refuse to give up until you've rendered it entirely unusable!

          Maybe you should start a 4th new thread about this!!

                My intuition tells me that you turned off the device during the firmware update...
                Probably you got an error and you did not wait for the automatic restart that it usually does when it detects errors.
                I'm afraid you'll have to replace the NVRam.
                "ALL WILL BE WELL" The battle cry that most inspires me to follow, from the DC's Comic character that I admire the most. And I feel satisfied with being better every day, and with using Gnu-Linux as my usual Operating System.Apologies for my English, it's not my mother tongue and I'm helping the translator.

                    Read the damned service manual.

                        If you have to ask, you shouldn't be working on this machine. There are so many pitfalls, no way you'll get through it.

                          Next question will be: where can I find the manual?
                          Please start you post with brand, model, problem.
