Got my new 798c si unit w/ older version than 4.780. First tried downloading newer version (4.760) of software for my 727. Download froze up and gave me transfer error. Tried to back out and redownload, but now I have nothing. Unit wont even stay powered up to get to PC connect menu. Pi--ed!
So having real reservations on trying to update the new 798, I went ahead and tried. It took 4 download attempts before it made it completely through successfully. I wish I had tried exiting multiple times from the screen on the sonar when I was stuck downloading the 727.
When it froze up, the message on the sonar screen was "transfer failure- press exit". If I had done that multiple times and checked the PC software like I did with the 798, I would have seen that it could see an "unknown" deivce on Com 1. By continuing to attempt downloads multiple times, I finally got the 798 to complete the download.
So now what? I guess I have to ship the 727 to HB to get reloaded? Anyone got a suggestion?
