WARNING! - Make sure you know which chipset your SC-2000 has before downgrading to V1.80. A few people with firmware V2.07 have downgraded and are now stuck - no other firmare will load.
Could those of you stuck with V1.80 at the moment try the following:
Load V1.80 following the instructions in the FAQ and then load it again (ie twice). The first time you may not get the `WRITING` then `DONE` message, but you should the second time. Now try upgrading again.
Post here if you have any success. It mught also be worth trying V1.95 (since it supports the multi chipset) I`ll see if I can find a copy of this to make available.

Just to Clear up a point this is the flashrom the firmware is stored on as well as the DAC. As the player is using diffrent brands of flashrom and the older firmware does not contain the info on how to update all of them.

Nivz, Thanks for trying. I`ll give the 1.80 stuff a go tonight and let you know. Also I`ll try the 1.95 if you or I can find it, but what about the problem mentoned where the machine dies if you use the wrong firmware for the decoder? Do you think this could this be a problem with 1.95? Cheers Steve
