Massive thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this…
I have tried to update my replicator dual CTC clone to sailfish but somewhere along the line have managed to brick it.
I was following a youtube video for it which recommended before updating to sailfish to go get it up to replicator 7.5 using the makerbot desktop software. it wouldnt update with this so I used Rep G 0040 to do this, it was on 7.2, it seemed to go to 7.3 fine but then listed itself as not connected on Rep G. I proceeded to try with 7.4 install, but it wont work.
The buttons on the front of the printer dont work, after inspecting the board with the machine on, its constantly flashing the green LED in the corner labeled as PB7 DEBOG (im assuming they mean debug). This switches off when I click reset and starts up straight after)
Does anyone know what do do? I have tried to initiate the install with both REP G 0040 and REP G 40r30. I have tried so many different timing strategies with pressing the reset button and update on the pc as well as trying to initiate the upgrade during power on boot up of the printer.
When I do click to upgrade it take 30 seconds or so before it comes up with 'The firmware update did not succeed. Check the console for details. You can click upload and try again.
If I try and connect to the printer on REP G it says in the console;
[13:36:49] Connecting to machine using serial port: COM4

[13:36:51] Packet timed out!

Hi everyone, I was going to close this delete this discussion but then thought this was massively difficult for me to find any clear help. I ended up getting it work by using REP G 40r30, I went for the 7.7 sailfish install for the replicator single/dual , when your on the upgrade screen ready to press upgrade/reset on the print, switch the power off to the print, press reset (during its boot up before it gets to the main screen) then press upgrade straight after/at the same time.
