Evic Upgrade Problem

[baksteen8168]

So after waiting 1 whole month and enjoying a good days vape on my brand new evic... I get home 1 hour ago and plug myevic into y pc to download my day's stats. The software tells me I need to update, so I accept...

Now my evic is dead. Enter button does nothing. not turning on. nothing... tried searching everywhere, but can not find any info on the net. Please help

Hey @baksteen8168 can you maybe not try download an update file separately? No downloads section?

 

[baksteen8168]

Tried, it looks like it's not writing the update. keeps telling me there is a problem with the bin file

 

[Darth_V@PER]

Did you get it from here?

 

[baksteen8168]

Did you get it from here?

Yes, all 3. even tried al the MVR versions too

 

[Darth_V@PER]

Even the E-vic factory reset option?

 

[baksteen8168]

yup.

It said upgrade comlete, please unplug. As soon as I did that, she was dead...

After this the software said it can not write to the device...

Now it says it can not detect it...

On an old eVic I had to repair January this year, same problem. What worked for me was: unplug eVic from PC, Reboot PC and try again with factory reset.

[Darth_V@PER]

@johan thanks for that I'm pretty sure your right it's normally something as minor as that... Pffft technology hey

 

[Darth_V@PER]

Hope you come right @baksteen8168! Hopefully something minor

If you don't come right please come drop it off tomorrow.

@johan

No go, still not seeing it.

 

[baksteen8168]

Thanks, Will have a look there

 

[baksteen8168]

Thanks, Will try to sort it out before then. only had her working one day and i am already missing her. haha

 

[Darth_V@PER]

That link @MarkK will definitely help you... It could be your USB cable your using @baksteen8168. The guy had exactly the same problem as you and he sorted it out one time Let us know if you manage to un brick your beauty... Lol that sounds perverted

 

[VapeGrrl]

that thread did seem ather helpful the only problem is that you may need more than two hands to sort it out

 

[Darth_V@PER]

@VapeGrrl are you speaking about the unbricking? It does sound like he might need an extra pair of hands.

 

[baksteen8168]

@Darth_V@PER - That does sound wrong. lol

@VapeGrrl - Tried with different cables, holding in, restarting... still no joy...

Battery removed?

"So imagine holding power button on while plugging in the cord and making sure it is just so and then clicking upgrade. Well I almost needed another set of hands"
