Title: Vp2 Wireless console with Cabled firmware
Post by: kannema261 on March 16, 2023, 04:20:12 PM: Hello everybody

I am Kornelis and have a problem, I have updated my before april 2006 6152EU console (serial number A60511D42C) with cabled firmware 3.88. ](*,) ](*,)
When i want to update to the right firmware i get a message it is not possible because it is a cabled console.
Is there anyone who can help me to go back to the original pre april 2006 firmware?

Thanks

Contact Davis support—the safest way. Other than that, strictly a guess, is your issue isn’t related to the firmware. Sounds like the console may have “locked up” so the console manual in Chapter 4 states to reset the console by removing AC and batteries. Wait a minute or so, then repower the console. If you have data in the console you don’t want to lose, place the console in setup mode by pressing the done button and the minus key at the same time BEFORE removing power to the console. Downgrading firmware is usually a bad idea.
