Hi Karen:
You don't necessarily have to prepare your card, but you'd have
to erase the old update. It's almost as easy to prepare the card
as it is to erase, <smile>.

7.1
I have a question that's probably obvious but please bear with me
anyway.
Does one have to prepare an SD card for upgrading each time that
a new
upgrade is done? It would seem that once a card is formatted
that one
wouldn't have to format it again, but maybe not. It's just
something I'm
curious about.

I went through the same process you did recently. Move all files
to
another card. Run the prepare SD card for upgrade program which
is in the
Keysoft System disk in the windows folder I believe. You would
go to
utilities menu, and to something called run applications. Enter
on that
and you will be asked where the program is, so select windows,
then the
program which says preparing SD card for upgrade. Be sure your
SD card is
in the unit so it will be formatted properly. Now that you have
7.0 on
your machine, the only file you will need is the 7.01 upgrade
file which is
called nk.bin. I'd place that file onto your newly formatted card
and run
it again and I'm certain the upgrade will be successful. Move
your files
back to the card after upgrading. Delete the older nk.bin file
and replace
it with your latest nk.bin file.

Subject: [Braillenote] upgrading the mPower BT from 7.0 to 7.1
Hello List:
I'm trying to upgrade my mPower from KS 7.0 to 7.1.
I installed the 7.0 upgrade from the online site, and then later
received
the software on an SD card because I was entitled to the
upgrade.
I successfully have been using 7.0, but felt I should upgrade to
7.1. So,
I inserted the SD card into my PC which contained the KS 7.0
files, and
just downloaded the 7.1 file onto the card from the website.
Everything went well until I started to upgrade. I hit dots 4
and 6 with
the reset button, that part seemed ok. Then the instructions
said
something about holding down dots 1 and 2, but that didn't seem
to work.
So, I tried hitting the dots 4 5 with the reset, and that didn't
seem to
produce any results.
I actually had to do a service reset, because the unit froze
with the
message "update bootloader" on the braille display.
I really would like to upgrade to 7.1 however, it is not urgent,
but if I
can do it then I will.
Has anyone else experienced trouble upgrading? And, what am I
doing wrong
or not doing...any ideas?
Thanks,
Katie
