    Default Don't try to download firmware to your LC-1

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

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

    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.

    I'm an engineer, so I can engineer my way out of any hole, right...?
    No, wrong, I get deeper into holes within holes...

    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.
