Tried to do the firmware update on my 796d. After an error about no
communication and no update, im stuck with a semi-dead scanner. Any
HELP???
I can press the l/o - 6 - scan combo and power on and get back into
update mode, but doesnt do me any good because i cant the update to
communicate.
If i press no buttons and power on I get a quick flash of backlight,
and then dead screen.
Pressing the only reset i know of (2,9,man,turn on) does nothing.
I did have a couple different scan programs working on it prior.
Scancat and the one from uniden. But thought maybe the update would
help with a problem i was having getting a new bank to scan.
When i went to do the update i changed the com port needed and since
then had the problem.
But have since uninstalled all the ports and reinstalled using the
radio shack usb-serial with proper driver and all. Gave me a new com
port (4) to use. Still failure in update. Tried adjusting all the port
baud speeds because i couldnt recall which one i had last used in the
scanner. And again, i tried using a seperate laptop with a fresh
install of the usb-serial cable/driver
