   Which version was "latest"?  Using a wired connection for this might
be more reliable.

 

1.0.4.46, was the one i tried.

   In this context, the difference between "orange" and "amber" is very
   small.

 

I get you. I will say thats amber :) Solid amber, no flashing.

   I wouldn't bet on anything, but I'd try running the TFTP command at
different points in the cycle, in the hope of finding the thing in a
receptive state at some lucky time.

 

I tried for like 2hours last night and didnt get lucky. Will try to use a USB-TTL cabel and use the serial connection to see if i can stop the booting process and get the TFTP server to respond.

   So, you found some "Upgrade Firmware" program somwehere?  I'd expect
you to get better control over what happens when, if you used the
command-line TFTP program.

 

Yea i used TFTP2.exe found on this forum i have the CMD version of it to. Might give it a try!

 

Thanks for your reply.
