Hello,

I tried to apply the DX Reface 1:30 update.

I plugged the DX Reface into a USB port on a computer running Windows 7 32-bit.

I ran the updater downloaded from Yamaha's web page.

It took about 3 1/2 minutes to get to 100%.

I left it alone for another ten minutes.

The DX Reface is still at version 1.20, as determined by holding down the three keys and restarting it.

Any idea what's wrong, or what I should try next?

Thanks.

You saw the "Loading", "Erasing", "Writing" and "Completed" screens or no?

Thanks.

I believe I just saw Loading - that's where the bar graph moved across to 100%.

(I didn't know there were "Writing" and "Completed" screens.)

Thanks - I'm extremely familiar with the instructions that accompany the updater; I've read them innumerable times trying to find out what I might have done wrong.

Attached is the window of the updater. (Ignore the diagonal line.)

This is as far as it gets; I have left it like this for up to half an hour, with no further change.

I've tried it on three computers, under windows 7 and 10.

Something clearly isn't right.

Can you offer me some further direction?

Thanks.

Wait; never mind.

On the 10th try, it worked. I don't know why.

Thanks for all your help. It's done.
