Montana 700i display frozen after display update

Hi

Does this issue only occur when the 700i is updated via a mac computer or does it occur with PC's as well?

I am hesitating to update my  700

thanks

I don’t think is computer related but more to a firmware bug.

I may have gotten lucky since my Touchscreen update loaded 100% and works normally. But successful Mac interfaces with 700i’s are 0 for 3 on this thread. (I’m still showing version 5.30 after the Touchscreen update) Dr Kayak didn’t say but I’m guessing a Windows computer yielded version 6.30 without issue.

Also, one of 6.30’s listed Fixes was mounting SD Cards formatted on Mac Computers

I don’t think is computer related but to a firmware bug.

Hi Andrew,

I cannot find 6.30 release notes anywhere. What does the 6.30 update fix or introduce? Is it safe to install it via Windows given that some of the users here report issues when updating the fix?

Cheers 

Same with 750i. Software update available. Do you want to install? Yes was the last the screen responded. Hard reset. Still no screen. Update via Express (mac).  No screen response. Replacement en route from retailer.
