there is no special section/forum for firmware requests.

most times making a small contribution to CTN will get you what you desire in a quicker fashion.

Just made my first 10 donation...

VHI0MFP00043C is the part number for an OEM SD card for a MX541

Thank you for the OEM part#. The copier is missing the hard drive as well. If I get the SD card, will I be able to boot up copier and then see an error message for missing hard drive. Or will the machine not boot up at all without hard drive? Thanks for any help

if the HDD is missing its a 320GB 2.5 in, you can go up in size but not down.
Is the sd card currently installed blue with a generic white sticker on it?
Also removing and reseating the controller assy, on this model can be tricky also.
Lots of weird stuff, if the controller isnt seated correctly.

Defective Hdd give a e7-03 error, after boot.

Ok, thats what I thought. I buddy of mine gave me a scandisk sd card with supposedly the linux boot and a file called vrg2_MAIN_0300R2.sfu on a usb. I put the sd card in, update DIP set to on and copier would go through startup sequence and then power down and then just keep repeating the same cycle. Nothing ever came up on the screen to update the firmware. He claims it is because there is no Sharp partition on a 320 GB hard drive I put in there. Service manual says screen will come up and I will see the error you stated above. I am just trying to get some clarity on the exact procedure, because his method did not work.
