First off did you extract the binary from the archive file you downloaded? (The camera won't know what to do with the Zip file for example).

If you did that did you put the binary file in the root directory of the card, (it won't find the file if it's in a subdirectorty).

If you did both those things, then the only things possible are either software error in your camera;s current firmware or a hardware problems with your camera's flash memory.

I'm in the process of upgrading the firmware on my *ist DS. I've got the new firmware on the SD 
card. Instructions say to turn the camera on while holding the menu button down. At the point the 
LCD screen should show "NOW LOADING" and then change to "PROGRAM UPDATE," at 
which point the option of proceeding with the upgrade can be selected.

When I do that the screen displays the current version of the firmware -- in my 
case 1.0 -- and then goes dark. The shutter and aperture settings on the LCD 
panel on top of the camera flash for several seconds and then stops. Nothing 
else happens.

Any suggestions?
