Can't Download Firmware - iBike Freezes - Ideas?
Posted: Mon May 05, 2008 2:39 pm
I've posted this in tech support but I'd thought I'd post it here too as there seems to be a wider audience.
I’m having a problem downloading new firmware to my iBike and can’t seem to fix it. My iBike is one of the older models, purchased in August of ’06. For the longest time I used version 1.07, and the older version of iBike for Windows.
I upgraded to iBike 2.0 (which works fine), but can’t seem to get 1.16 to download to my iBike.
When I try to download one of two things happens…
•The iBike “hangs up” – that is to say it looks like the firmware is downloading but it moves slowly and never completes – in fact it never even gets 50% of the way there
•Or, I get an error message saying something to the effect of “Error Downloading First Part of Software” and then it just freezes
When the iBike freezes and the only way to bring it back to life is to remove the battery and re-install it. I can’t even download an older version of the firmware at this point. In fact it won’t download at all.
Is my iBike not compatible w Windows 2.0 and/or firmware 1.16? Is it something else that I’m missing? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.
