400D Firmware - Anomolous Behaviour

IRONcast

Here's an issue:

 

400D running firmware: 1.0.4 - I am trying to update to 1.0.5, 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 - all have failed.

 

Attempt 1: EOS Utility - failed - it copies the .fir file to the CF card (Kingston 8GB) (correctly named) (the red LED on the camera indicates a copy operation), and the camera correctly reboots, to display 'Firmware Not Found' - this is after several formats of the CF card on both PC and Camera beforehand - to ensure it's clean.  After, I can see the 4.6MB file had been copied onto the card - but the camera doesn't find it.


Attempt 2: CF Card Reader: formatted CF card in camera, then copied .fir file directly onto root of CF card - and updated via camera menu - which still cannot find the firmwre update on the card.

 

I have not renamed the file - my only conclusion is: the CF card, Kingston 8GB, is too large /not supported.

 

I have downloaded several copies of said firmwre, and three revisions to make sure it's not the file.

 

Essentilly, no matter what I do, the camera can't see the firmware on the CF card...


Any ideas?

Issue resolved - note to self: check the basics, first.

 

I replaced a bent #11 pin and it worked through the EOS Utility...

 

Thanks all.
