I just updated the drivers of my stx6303. I then proceeded to update the firmware. The firmware update started but crashed at some point. The driver checker stopped responding. Restarting the driver checker didn't get it going again. I restarted the camera but still no luck. The fan starts for a few seconds and stops. The driver checker and CCDops can’t establish a link with the camera. The USB driver installed correctly. Powering the camera up starts the USB driver and it recognises the camera but no communication. I am based in South Africa so I sincerely hope we can get it going locally.
Uh oh. I suspect your camera is bricked and will have to be sent in for reprogramming. Please contact Bill @ service for assistance. If you think the firmware update has frozen - DO NOT ABORT IT. Sometimes Windows shows the updater as not responding when it's just busy doing its thing.
