Hi guys, just saw there was an updated firmware. Scope had *.36 version, went to do the firmware update, it rebooted, relays clicked a few times, all the lights turned on, and screen just says SIGLENT for the last 30 minutes. I used a freshly formatted flash drive with only the updated firmware file "SDS800X-HD_1.1.6.2.ADS" on the root of the flash drive, with nothing else on it.
It asked me 'reboot now?', I clicked yes, it rebooted, and now it is just hung. I've tried connecting to it over ethernet and over usb to see if there is any life, but there isn't any. I haven't touched it / turned it off, but I'm pretty sure I just bricked the fucking thing.
Edit: I couldn't take it anymore. I pressed and held power button for 15 seconds before it turned off. Unplugged everything, and turned it back on. sat there for several lifetimes, then went to the normal screen. Checking system information shows the bios did upgrade correctly.
I have no idea what happened, but I cannot put into words how relieved I am. Except I just did reset defaults to make sure, clicked reboot, and now it's stuck on the black screen again. Motherfucking what.
Final edit: I found the problem. I have a usb powered wifi travel router. It plugs into the back usb/ethernet ports, and connects to my wifi automatically. Somehow I think on bootup, it seeing the router maybe did a programmed thing like for a tech to flash a firmware of a dead device over tftp or flash etc.
Unplugging it, it turns on jus fine, plug it in, all is well. It just messes with bootup somehow
