    Thumbs down

    I went back and tried to do a reset and initial calibration, then a free air and nothing. Totally dark. I was not running the latest LC1 firmware.

    It is officially bricked. I was using the xx.09 firmware on my V2.

    Anyone have a fix for this? CRAP! This is turning out to be an expensive f#$%ing beta.

    My lc1 just took a poop as well... just after updating the V2 to 2.06.09. It would do free air cals randomly and now it won't respond to anything. At first I didn't think it was related but seeing all these other problems makes me think twice...

    Its a little early to throw the towel in. In my case, the LC1 was heated and swollen, so I pitched it when I took it out. The 2.6.9 just speed up the process. The LC1 is a popular FTDI chip and can probably be reflashed by Innovate.

    Same thing happened to me with my LC1 and I think with my LM1

    I can no longer read serial data from my LM1 anymore...

    Hahaha. Thats true. I am much more calm now. I opened a cold Corona and then everything was fine.

    I love the new v7 and v8 software and new interface and BBL so much, I wouldnt trade it for anything. It is true the LC1 is the Kia Sephia of widebands. I guess you get what you pay for.

    (now where is my damn bottle opener?)

    Keep up the good work Blacky and crew! Great product and excellent support.
    Bring on the firmwares!

    anyways... i was able to connect to the serial interface with a lot of trials and errors and I managed to do a firmware update on them... just trial and error... I would start one and get the program to open up...

    after the program opened up I would hit RESET CALIBRATION and VOILA!!!!!! do a firmware update and you are done!

    So all this is just from using the LC-1 with serial alone,
    or from free airing the LC-1 through V2?
    I used V2.06.09 with no problem.
    I can't remember if I got to use V2.06.08
