    Why in the world would you use special firmware that was written to address specific problems?
    Base firmware works just fine.the latest version is g00-x4

    Special firmware is not an arbitrary upgrade, the machine has to exhibit certain behaviors that are addressed with special firmware.

    None of those are base and should never be used unless addressing that issue.
    We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

    This is irrelevant, even using GC3-X4 he should still be able to update to this version!

    Try to update leaving front door open. Also good idea from your countryman and fellow tech Bix is to put USB directly in port on right rear side of machine instead of panel.

    Also, make sure the extension cable for the front port is plugged into the correct port in the back. I've seen some where it's plugged in where the fax unit should go.

    Try a few other USB pen drives, no larger than 4GB, however larger ones do work.

    Agreed on that point, I am more curious/concerned that different special versions that all fix different issues were attempted.
    Hope he's holding the stop button and only has the FWXXXX## folder on the root.

    Well he says he has the black dot in the top right corner so he must be holding down the stop key.

    So many valid suggestions and you only manage to repeat yourself
