[Solved] SkyRC MC3000 Firmware Update Issue

Hey guys,

I just received a new SkyRC MC3000 charger and have been enjoying using it, well until now. I saw that my firmware was old compared to the one listed on SkyRC’s website, so I figured I would update it. I downloaded both the monitor software and the firmware packages, followed the instructions, and as the charger was updating, this error popped up. “start vector err1”

The update pauses and doesn’t do anything. I clicked OK and it still didn’t do anything. My charger now has a completely blank screen and I’m freaked out that it may be one very expensive brick :cry:

Anyone have any idea on this? I saw a thread on CPF talking about this, but the member never got back to the thread on how to resolve it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

————————————UPDATE————————————

I was looking through CPF and found a thread where one of their members, TJH, came up with a guide to solve a firmware flash issue.
Here are the steps:

Huge thank you to TJH for making this guide. I was really worried my charger just became a very expensive brick. Hopefully this will help someone else later on.

:+1:

Glad I could help :slight_smile:

Thanks for the instruction - it saved my day.

BTW, there is a new firmware update for the SkyRC MC3000

Thank ChibiM! Looks like the update is to support the new phone app. No information on other changes.

Ah, I only noticed a new update.. without looking into the details ;)
