I just inherited an 164LX. I'm trying to load the SRM firmware.
The flash seems to work as the machine resets itself and comes back
up with a white cursor on a blue background. From googling around,
I think this means I'm in SRM, but the videocard is not supported.
I hooked up a serial console, and I see the following messages:
ec.f4.eb.ea.Flash error: low voltage detected
Flash error: error in block erase
Segment 15 had incomplete erasures
Flash error: low voltage detected
Flash error: error in block erase
Segment 15 had incomplete erasures
Does anyone have tips as to what is causing the low voltage
warnings? I replaced the only battery I saw, the RTC one. But this
did not quell the warning. I don't see anything else that is obvious.
The verify command returns:
fsb Verifying 3.1... FAILED.
which is to be expected.
For kicks, I tried update anyway:
fsb Updating to 3.1... Flash error: low voltage detected
Flash error: error in block erase
Segment 00 had incomplete erasures
FAILED.
Does anyone have some recommendations?
