Liam: I'm not Larry, but I think I can assist you. The reason for this is the Firmware isn't being executed successfully--as you have guessed. The reason for that is usually one of two things: 1. Your flash card is too full and can't handle the execution of the firmware. It may not be totally full, but too full to perform the requested operation; 2. Your batteries were too weak and conked out. In doing tech. support, I have seen this many times. A reformat of the flash card, or using another card to do the update will solve this. After you have reformatted or changed cards, you can re-run the firmware by downloading the file: www.aph.org/tech/bpx_setup.exe Once you have downloaded that file, open it as you would any other file from the Run dialog or Windows Explorer. The update will be sent.

I keep getting a message "announcements missing" in the settings menu and in the notes folder. No adjustments can be made. I also cannot read files in the notes folder.
