Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems G9x v2.11 Firmware Released on the Web!

Recruit, sorry to hear that!

mine is still dead too......... but i dont understand how the video still works!

I presume that the Bios has been corrupted on our machines and needs to be either replaced or accessed via a Meridian Technician to fix it and not a simple job as upgradeing firmware ???

OK tried out dowload again, i can only uppgrade one component at the time ? Then i actually gets the files!! furthermore there vas a whole bunch off corrupt Meridian files in the temp dir.
Now we try to get the new Mconfig..

john, what version is you 91? dab or fm?
just wondering if we have any thing in common or just bad luck?

Nope it does not work after >50 attempts to dowload mconfig i finally succed's but i does not install properly. The hideus setup application claims that it does but i'm still at the old version ?

So what now ?

Guys,

Please don't go yelling at Meridian or your dealers or we may never see public downloads again.

Those having trouble, I can almost guarantee it's recoverable.

Meridian software hates my laptop because it polls through all the COM ports and hits the blue tooth ones sometimes and chokes. My firmware load died half way through. DVD player was dead with no display (this was not Meridians fault it was my being lazy and using the laptop I know it doesn't like). I recovered no problem at all and have many times before and was confident it would.

I moved to a more stable Desktop PC and restarted. All it does is ask you to manually toggle power when it attemps the download and I believe on powerup it regains communication and everything is fine. If you have a less than clean PC your problems may persist. But your Meridian Equipment does not have to go back to factory or anything.

Also as far as the setup.exe program from Meridian goes, it is pretty dumb and will download every single thing off their site by default. I always unselect everything and only select what I know I want.

Mnyb,

I would rename C:\Program Files\Meridian to C:\Program Files\Meridian.old and rerun setup.exe and tell it to reinstall if it asks.

When running setup.exe uncheck the stuff you don't need so it doesn't take so long to download.

George i already unistalled otherwise i always uncheck stuff i don't want, but now its something realy wrong it starts to download and gets stuck halfway trough at 25% 39% or whatever.
For the moment i don't even get to check boxes ?

Thanks anyway

Should i remove every trace off Meridian and dowload a completely new setup program ?

I removed old install,Ok i try to download the common installer, get stuck at 80% this is 672k of data ?
I think i go to work now and try again later

Slightly worrying: If anyone noticed in the release notes -

Make room for other enhancements - looks like something (core memory maybe?) is running low on available resources.

Unfortunately i do not have a desktop PC that has a serial port so i have only been useing my laptop so i will take it to my dealership as i was still getting " DVI Error 2 " before trying to load any firware updates so i would rather they look at the unit anyway
