Greetings!

I have a Byonics MicroFox 15S model that I have used several times before without issue. Today I went and tried to update the firmware, I followed the instructions to a "T" that were provided, and when I was done upon trying to read the transmitter to the programming software it now says "MicroFox Not Found". I was told that if I couldn't get the new firmware loaded to send him my "Fox" and he would load it for me, but there is no "factory reset" function. So I am VERY technologically astute and can handle loading firmware into a Fox Transmitter just fine, but has anyone else ever encountered an issue with Byonics equipment where it says "MicroFox Not Found" after updating firmware?

The only time I ever encountered that error is when I did not have the programming cable fully seated into the device. I thought it was in, but it needed an extra push. I do not have your 15S, but I own a couple of other Byonics devices.

As to updating firmware, I don't believe I ever have. The devices work, so I leave them alone.

Have you contacted Byonics? Their customer service is usually pretty good.

Well in my experience, it’s always something simple. I just have to ask this, And I’m pretty sure you may have already checked this, but have you checked the comport?
