Hi,

I was trying to update a µSpirit from Version 2.6.3 to 2.6.4 via WiFi, as I did it serveral times before and also for red, black and Pro Spirit.
It started as usual but stopped after some seconds with strange Servo movements and beeps, I guess from the ESC.
While the µSpirit still was powered up, I was not able to reconnect the software to the unit.
Even in recovery mode via USB I was not successful. While powering up the µSpirit I could not see any flashing of the LED, the LED stays off.

Is there a chance to revitalize the system?

Regards,
Alexander

Hi,

please check this page:

It should be possible to re-flash the unit in the recovery mode.

Hi,

I tried the recovery already with no success.
The LED is not flashing at all, it stays off all the time.
When I start the recovery (using USB), then connect power to the unit, the servos start with strange movements after a while, getting faster the longer I wait.
The settings software remains in the recovery mode and is not responding any more, I interrupted after about 3 minutes.

Using a Mac I am sure to use the correct USB driver, because I can connect to other Spirit units.

Regards,
Alexander

I am afraid but in this case it will be necessary to ship the unit to us.

It look like something more happened and repair is needed.
Can you ship package to us? We will find what happened and repair in one day.
