Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions A2 - 2.7 Firmware Update.....

I'm having some kind of an issue with our PC not being able to burn a disc and am curious if somebody minds burning me a copy of the 2.7 firmware update? I sure would appreciate it.

We picked up the HD-DVD Bourne Ultimatum this afternoon and 57 min 20 sec into the movie the A2 locked up solid, the first time I had to pull the power plug for the machine to respond to any commands, the second time it froze the screen at the same 00:57:20 mark but responded to the stop command and I just shut it down to avoid what was about to become a backdoor slam. I'm thinking it may be a firmware issue due to the newness of the movie. (I hope)

I do have the 2.5 update, thank you very much Nick ... but due to the PC problem I've never updated to the 2.7 firmware.

PM me and I'll PM you back with the details, thanks in advance.

Got ya covered

Thanks Bro ... I didn't realize that you had already downloaded the firmware, I really do appreciate it big guy!

I have a copy already burned out too, so if you can't get it to him wid let me know and I will send it that way

Yeah, I could have sent you a copy too, but like I said, due to my being out of town for work, it wouldn't have been until January 2008, so I am glad that someone else is hooking you up!

Rick, don't you have broadband? Just hook up your A2 to the internet and download it automatically.

Thanks guys but I believe ol' Rick has one on the way, and again thanks to you Nick for the 2.5 update disc, that very kind of you!

Randy, we've got something up with our PC that is not allowing me to burn copies onto the media disc. Hmmm, I wonder what I now *need* for Christmas since the Fender custom shop $17k SRV 'Lenny' strat is sold out.

Wait a minute...Randy, did you say connect the A2 directly to the PC for the download?

you can hook the a2 directly up to your modem with an ethernet cable for the update. you need a tv next to your modem, or an ethernet cable long enough to reach from your modem to your tv.

Or, if you're using a router, you can hook the A2 into an unused ethernet port, and install the firmware that way. It takes a little longer to install the firmware from the internet (20 to 40 minutes), but I find it a bit easier that burning a disc. YMMV.

Yep, not saying burn to a cd. The back of the A2 has a ethernet connection.
