I got cocky and thought of downloading firmware to my LC-1
which was rather stupid of me :bash: and now my LC-1 is quite dead :bawl:

I should know better, which makes me twice as stupid. :banana:

SO DON'T THINK ABOUT DOING WHAT I DID.
Hopefully I can save someone the trouble.

Innovate Motorsports are going to fix me up; they are very nice, and I thank them. :cheers:

No, wrong, I get deeper into holes within holes...:muahaha:

Innovate Motorsports fixed it up and sent it back, they were very nice and didn't question my stupidity.

Like the old computer proverb says:

"If it’s not broken, don't touch it"

(Which also includes anything electrical) and I vouch for this with a few dead motherboards from firmware upgrades for the hell of it.

Hot swapping the bios chip was an easy task to do a few years ago.

Impossible to do now.
