I Buy FW3A 31 Ago 2019
If I try to click 13 times nothing happen
For reset I have to unscrew the tail and press button before screwback.
I don’t want to unscrew tail so I do the reset with the head
To make sure the reset has been done I try Ramp mode but there are 4 levels and not 7…so nothing as been reset
Power is connected before the signal tube for the switch, so holding the switch doesn’t work. You have to do 13H. If it doesn’t work, the light does not have factory reset. Lumintop was very late with using a newer firmware.
From off, try 13 fast clicks and hold the last one. The led should do something.
Or try 13 fast clicks and hold on the 12th or 14th one.
I don’t have the later model, so I’m not sure.
From Toykeeper: From a regular “off” state, click 13 times and hold the last click for a few seconds. Then keep holding the button for 3 seconds. The light should flash an increasingly bright warning, during which time the user can let go to abort without any changes. Then after 3 seconds, it gives a bright flash and fades back to nothing. This indicates the reset has completed.
I don’t remember where, but I read in forum that I have to press the switch for 3 seconds after screw tailcup.
There is a mode for understand if my fw3a is compatible with reset or not?
It’s unknown. Maybe newer ones have it, but older ones are still being sold from their inventory. You would need to do the 13H to find out if yours has it or not.
