    Lanier LD425c (b230) firmware failure

    Was doing a firmware update. While machine was updating when a message of bad firmware download appeared on display. I powercycled machine and now it will not come out of "please wait" on display at boot up. It also will not boot with SDcard. Any thoughts or did I make a "brick" of the controller by updating firmware with sd card? Any help appreciated.

    which part of firmware did you try to update?
    you can only force system to boot up from sd card, all other will fail. if the error occurs on engine update, you will be in need to replace bicu board

      The engine and system firmware updated normally. I think it was in the middle of the fax firmware update when it cacked on me

        What was the error number? According to the service manual, if there is an error, it will show the letter "E" followed by a 2-digit number, indicating what the problem was...

          ok, in this case disconnect the fax assy, does the mashine fire up?

            I powercycled too soon before checking for e-code. That is part of my plan to remove fax, hdd, etc and hopefully it will come back to life. I have had one in the past that was stuck on please wait and had to replace NVRam. I suppose the same might happen here. I have also heard somewhere of someone shorting pins on NVram to reset, wonder if that works?

              I wouold refer to the manual about the procedure to boot from the SD card, asI know on several of the Ricoh boxes you have to set a dip switch on the controller to boot from the SD card. Also E codes usually have to be cleared through the Factory sp mode. You can find referance on how to acesss this mode in many other posts.

                In case you don't have the manual available:

                5.10 DIP SWITCHES

                5.10.1 CONTROLLER BOARD


                DIP SW No. OFF ON
                1 Boot-up from Flash Memory Boot-up from SD card
                2 to 8 Factory Use Only: Do not change the switch settings.

                  Re: Lanier LD425c (b230) firmware failure (fixed)

                  Thanks to those who replied. The solution however came from Goose's Guide. It appears on firmware failure that you can do clear modes,1,4,3, stop(3x) and turn off power. This resets the firmware to previous versions before failure. I corrected corrupt file on card and powered back up. Firmware loaded normally.
