Help Please
I want to flash my Eurovox BUT.....
I dont think my PC has a port to put in the Null cable.
Although I can see 5 spare USB ports!
It's a D*LL 5150

Snap.

You can buy a rs232 to USB adapter but these can be hit and miss. Some ppl got it to work - I didn't. I bought a PCI serial port card from DELL (to play safe) but you can get cheaper cards out there.

[lucky13]

Tis a gr8 new feature.

This was featured in a firmware release 28/3/08 and the updated release of 10/4/08 incorporates the same new features

Hi
Hope someone out there can steer me on the right liines.
I did the code updates and they worked fine for me on Thurs. Came home Fri and they dont work for me now although I got new codes. Instead of "Please wait... etc" I have "Service Unknown".
Presume I will need to flash the box.
OK - I can read the tut on how to, that's cool. BUT
which fimware download?
The box my Eurovox came in says Eruro-Vox Max 2006 series and is in a blue box.
Which firmware do I need please?
Many thanks. New at this.. having to get myself sorted out as my husband died recently and I have to do this stuff myself now!
Thanks all.
