jdgower Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 I just got my flirc yesterday and programmed it fine, but I noticed long key presses didn't work, so I attempted to install the latest firmware. While updating, the flirc program crashed and now it will not work and says "please connect flirc". I have verified the driver is still working, and have installed flirc on another computer to no avail. I have tried to upgrade the firmware again to a stable release but it will not let me as the program doesn't think flirc is connected. Is there anything I can do to fix it? :( Thank you for your time! Quote
jdgower Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Posted July 28, 2012 Got it working. I ended up trying it with my laptop with windows 7 and was able to upgrade the firmware which fixed it on my windows 8 machine. Quote
Chris! Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Phew - glad it's working. I saw the thread but was waiting for Jason to comment. Happy Flirc-ing :) Quote
misc99 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 This just happened to me. I got flirc today and was excited as expected (great product) and all was working good. I programmed using an apple remote and all was working good. I then decided to try and update the firmware to get long presses working. Now in the GUI it only says "please connect Flirc" and i cant do anything. When i plug flirc into my laptop, the laptop beeps as if something is connected twice then one more time as if the device is removed. Any help is much appreciated as i would like to get this up and running as it is the last piece to my project. Thanks Muchly Quote
jonbennett Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 I too am in the same boat. awaiting response from support. Got bricked during firware update. I am running ML 10.8.5 mac Quote
eggi25 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Me too, after installing of RC5, the firmware update run but then, the flirc is dead. GUI says "please connect flirc". The PC does recognize it for a second and then it is removed. Any hints for me? Quote
bigron3180 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 I am also having the same issue. The GUI crashed after updated the firmware. Now it says disconnected. Any solution? Quote
craigino Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 I too have this problem, but I was able to complete the firmware upgrade on another computer as did JDGOWER. However, the upgraded GUI on my XBMC box is still unable to see the flirc device saying "Please Connect Flirc". So I can't make any changes to flirc...at least on my XBMC box. In addition to not being able to get the GUI to connect to Flirc, I now have a problem where I have to hit the buttons on my remote several times to make a selection. Would love to be able to connect to Flirc so I could make a few adjustments. Any suggestions? Quote
