Topic: Fireface 400: flash update failed with error + blinking LEDs=NO SOUND!

Hi!

I'm using MB Pro 13 with the SL. Some days ago during my hard work the Fireface 400 started to make some "zzz"-noises.
So, i decided to upgrade the drivers and the flash. Downladed 'Fireface flash update 1.70 2.77' and 'fireface_x86_275'....
Driver update is OK.
Before the flash update program it shows that i'm on revision 1,49. I've started the process and as result got: Failed with error 9002600.
Turned FF400 off, on... and got Blinking Leds on my FF400, Static Noises and no opportunity to work!!!!!

Dear Support, wtf... whats wrong?

PS: tomorrow my live gig on the end of this world! I need to work!

THANKS

Yes, I did it.
I have the same situation as above on my MB Pro 15 on the old FF driver:
Mixer and Fireface settings are starting, but LEDs blinking and the sound with static noises...

I NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

ps: for this gig i've found another solution but the future gigs are on my lovely FF400 which not works (as u see..)

Seems something is in need of repair. Have you exchanged the cable and/or the power supply unit?

No. Just tryed to update the flash. Standart procedure:
a) driver updating
b) flash updating

My last flash update before this was done about 1,5 year ago..
I think that the program killed my FF sad(( Cause it even does not moved during the update.

There are no specific instructions apart from trying to install the driver on another computer and running the appropriate fut. The blinking is not a good sign, though, might be a hardware problem, which would need repair.

?fter the installing from another MB Pro-15 (with the old driver and the older Mac OS) the Universal Binay (1,69) my FF got better and don't sick - NO BLINKING!!!! HAVE THE RIGHT SOUND !!! )))))

But, on my first (and THE MAIN, on the new driver and 10.6.4 Mac OS) MB Pro-13 my lovely FF getting some 'ZZZZZZ' sound from time to time. And after opening the mixer that 'ZZZZZ' sound gets normal output music with the right sound...

Do I have to go on the 1.70 for the MB Pro-13???? Drivers got no frindship??? )))
