Was this a failed attempt to upgrade the firmware, or what exactly were you doing when this occurred?

If it was a firmware upgrade, I have read that simply retrying it will fix it (may take more than one retry).

Does it boot?

Have you tried a different power supply? These things do all sorts of weird things when the power supply is failing, while appearing to still be working.

Have you tried contacting Anchor Bay? They actually do respond...most of the time.

By the way what do you use for serial port connectivity ? and what computer OS ?

I am ordering new PSU and then test again.

I use usb2serial port connect to win7 32bit. I tried to upgrade many but still not working.

If it's a simple cable/adapter this might be your problem, those don't work.

You need an adapter with FTDI chipset and drivers, like the Digitus DA-70156 or Ugreen CR107

oh really? Thank you very much
Ok. I'll order a new one Ugreen CR107. And will keep you posted again.

Not 100% sure this will fix your specific error, but yeah straight usb>serial adapters or cables don't work indeed.

You reminded me of this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60812

It doesn't look like you can get a replacement power supply anymore?

But it's sold out? And according to this: https://camelcamelcamel.com/DVDO-Univer ... B009LQYPSM It's been sold out since February.

So how and where did you get it? Is it an official Sinpro one or is it a third party?

They "original" ones weren't good by any standard. Most of them failed by now. You can get a matching one (6V, 7A to cover even the 50pro) for $15 shipped via AliExpress.

I don't know, this one hasn't been tested, but it might work if it's really what it says it is...

My friend uses this one to upgrade the firmware of Iscan HD+. It's working.
so I'll take it from him to test it.

Wow, at 80-120 the unit you would think they would be more reliable/higher quality than that.

Hi,

I got usb2rs232 cable FDLI and new psu 6v 5a but still doesn't work.
It's stopped at 5% every time when flash firmware.

Ok. Thank you, everyone, to help me.
