Help! I deleted the firmware from my DSP controller

[Big S]

I didn't ever delete my firmware, I had just been testing the software upgrade feature.
The only thing I did wrong was that I didn't check that my CD version of the NEWBIN2 fie was the same as the one on my DSP. It turns out it was an older file. It still works fine and I have been using my machine for the last 18 months.
It seems strange to me that the DSP can be corrupted so easily.

Andre09, unfortunately I think you´re right.

I tried to use the backup file that Shannon sent me but it didn´t work. That file is only 3KB, so it must contain only user settings as he said.

However the problem seems to be that I can´t write any data into the DSP. I remember when I accidentally deleted the DSP memory, a progress bar popped up and it took at least 20-30 seconds to rewrite the memory. But now, when I click on the different options ('Update program', 'Restore Configure data', 'Download file'... ) it seems to ignore the command and no progress bar appears.

I´ve already run out of ideas so I also think I´ll have to send the DSP to China.

Thanks Shannon, at least we tried it!

The main reason I wanted to investigate the Update feature was to improve on some of the Chin-glish commands, so that they were more english friendly.

Hopefully that will still be possible when I get it back, without stuffing it up again. I'll make sure to ask someone here on the forum or the manufacturer before going back into the unknown...

You should be able to change the commands by editing the label or menu files. I will check on mine and find out which one you need to change. You can open both of these files in notepad to view them.

Always keep a backup of the original file and save your modified one with a different name.
I will post my results.

Well you can edit the text details in the menu files, HOWEVER

***disclaimer*** if you REALLY has to do this you are on your own, there is no guarantee that you won't damage your DSP software or hardware. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong, I highly recommend you don't change anything. ***

I had a blank DSP screen after I unplugged it accidentally while transferring a file from my pc

I managed to fix it, I found a hidden emergency menu

What you do is with no power to DSP hold down the green and yellow buttons

Connect the usb cable to supply power then release the buttons together

You should now have 2 options normal start and emergency program

Thanks for your suggestion nick965, but I´ve just done that and it doesn´t work.

Maybe it worked for you because you didn´t actually delete or overwrite the firmware, which is our case.

[Andre09]

Hi Nick, thanks for the tip.

I was told this tip by the manufacturer and then was able to get into this emergency menu. I think you only need to Hold the "OK" button. Unfortunately we have done more damage than just unplugging the DSP at the wrong time..

[Andre09]

So yeah, what cenicero said above 3 minutes before I was thinking it..
