Force software update

[SimonH]

Hi,

Is it posssible to install fresh software onto a flx from usb rather than from within setup?

My flx kept freezing due to bugs and now when I reboot it goes through the sequence fine and the keys work etc but as soon as the show loads it freezes again.

Thanks

There’s the USB Creator flow for FLX (not FLX-S) console recovery:

Sounds like you might have a corrupt show file. I've had these sorted out by support in the (pre Vari-Lite) past. Might be worth asking them if they can check it for you.

The show file was fine as it loaded onto my spare desk ok.

I've reloaded the software now and all seems to be back again.

 

Thanks
