My Mictrotracker just died! firmware 1.4.6
« on: May 02, 2007, 09:56:03 PM »
TS-
I havee been using firmware 1.4.1vb or whtevs for a long time. My buddy wanted to get the latest firmware for his MT, cool I thought, Ill update mine too. so I did all the right steps, and after it was finished updating all the stuff, it didnt reset itself. noe the little bugger wont turn on by the wall AC, the usb from a computer or from my battery pack!

what to do! am I screwed with no hope? Im going to let it sit for a day or so and try to power it up tomarrow. I hope Im not screwed, but the taping gods are throwing me some crappy karma as of late.

edit: would a computer with spyware on it be anissue? I don't think it would, but who knows?

Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

I take it that the over night charging thing did nothing?

Did you contact M-Audio support? That would be the first thing I would do.

Be sure to detail as much as possible about how and what happened... size of the CF card you used to upgrade, if the MT was on the charger etc... did it finish the upgrade and then prepared to reboot and then nothing... stuff like that.

good luck.

If it died simply by updating the firmware I believe they will replace it under warranty. That's what I've seen in the past with other users here and elsewhere.  Tell them what card you were updating from.  There was at least one card that performing the update from had killed two others units (M-Audio replaced both of their units).

I'm still using 1.4.3.  ;D 

Until they come up with a 2gb fix(which they won't), I have no need to upgrade.

1.4.3 is solid.

Has anybody found a reason to upgrade firmware since 1.4.3, that has a any real purpose?

I transfer data from my MT on an external card reader, if that was going to be one of the upgrades that was good.

4 gigs transfer in about 8 minutes, via reader.

With this new firmware I do not need to press REC twice to start recording. For me there were more error messages using the old firmware - like media full or not the correct speed.

You don't have to push record twice with firmware 1.4.3 .

Hey I just thought of something. Not sure how old your unit is but if they are just swapping it out, presumably you'll get a new one with a fresh battery. Maybe worth the aggravation of having to swap it.

Died, died, my microtrack died
Drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day my microtrack died.


Sorry.  Hoping this will excise that song from my head whenever I see this..
