Yes, a wrong step or wrong link might lead to your scope being unusable, and you'd need to send it back to the factory for repair.
That being said... has anyone actually BRICKED their scope yet? I don't remember of one but eh... it's quite a long thread.
Also, I've attached the file all inside a zip. The steps are basically :
-
Extract all files (including the .lnk) to the root of your usb drive
-
From the scope's front panel, press Utility ->File Explorer -> Press to go to: (usually "usb")
-
From the drop down, scroll to the v241_link_install.cab to select
-
Press Load file
The scope will ask for your confirmation and then it will load/update and reboot.
FYI, my link file is :
160#\Secure\infiniiVision\infiniivisionLauncher.exe -l DIS -l MSO --perf -l MEMUP -l SCPIPS -l CABLE -l SGMC -l FLEXC -l TOM -l BW20 -l ADVMATH -l EMBD -l EDK -l VID
the other cab uninstall the link file and restores your previous setting.
Ok, so I assume the minimal steps are:
-
Install correct Firmware version first (i.e. in this case 2.43)
-
Download Safar's patched_nk_bin.comp file and copy to a USB stick and plug in.
-
Telnet into the scope.
-
Login infiniivision / skywalker1977
-
processmgr kill infiniivisionlauncher.exe
-
\windows\loadP500Flash -u ceImage1 \usb\patched_nk.bin.comp
-
Create a file on the USB stick called infiniivision.lnk with contents (e.g.) "88#infiniivisionLauncher.exe -l MSO -l BW20 -l DIS -l PLUS -l SCPIPS -l VID -l CABLE --perf"
7a) delete (or rename) any other lnk in \secure\startup folder. Should be only one file with lnk extension here.
7b) copy \usb\infiniivision.lnk to \secure\startup
8 ) reboot and good to go
