Re: FreeAgent Theater+ keeps resetting

Just give a click here for the 1.26 APAC FW or the 1.27 APAC FW.

K,

 

How did it go?

 

If 1.26 or 1.27 did not work either, try flashing US FW 1.45, 1.26, or 1.27 temporarily.  Just by process of elimination, if you get one version working then hopefully Seagate support can compare the 2 FW versions (APAC 1.45 vs. one that works) and figure out the problem for you and others with APAC.

Re: FreeAgent Theater+ keeps resetting

Hey guys,

 

Cheers for the extra options.

 

1.26 downloaded okay, but then wouldn't open. said he file path was invalid. I tried downloading again and naming it diff but still no luck. the file size was only a couple of megs so that may have something to do with it.

 

1.27 i updated to the system, but still the same problem. made sure that i'd deleted the theatre folder, but still no good.

 

i looked at trying the US FW, but cd only see v1.55. i've read that once installed you can't revert to earlier versions, so i'm hesitant to try this, especially if it voids my ability to return the thing. any thoughts?

 

I also tried 1.45 EMEA, the eurasion version, but that kept resetting too.

 

sigh.

 

i've sent he support guys another bump, but am becoming increasingly resigned.

 

anyhoo, still willing to try anything else which may work.

 

lemme know (even if your verdict is it's a dud :smileyhappy:

 

ta

 

 K.

 

PS> do you know if ppl have any better luck withhe GOFLEX TV? i'll go scour the forums in a bit, but thought you may know off hand. ta.

Do not install FW 1.55, you can't go back from that.

Re: FreeAgent Theater+ keeps resetting

The 1.26 APAC FW should be 37.5MB, if it was only a couple of megs then there is a problem.  I did try to download myself, and it download without a problem & opened

 

What browser are you using? Try clearing your history, before downloading, some times this will solve certain download problems.

 

Also, here is the 1.45 APAC FW, if the 1.26 won't download correctly, try to download this and see if it does the same thing.

Bought the GoFlex TV

 

and heck if it doesn't have exactly the same problem. i gues they do run the same firmware, but honestly. what.

 

Didn't even take he plastic wrap off. back in the box it goes.

 

sigh.

I'm bettin' that hard drive is the problem not the FAT+ or the Go Flex TV. The drive may be just fine but there might be a problem on the board in the Go Drive case. I just had a go drive 320gb that could only be seen on WindowZ 7 machine. But even on the W-7 box the drive was flakey. My XP machine would not find it. Took the drive out of the go case and connected it to an external USB drive case and it's working great on both machines. Funny thing was, the FAT+ didn't have a problem with it. Go figure. Pun intended :smileywink:
