There are 5 versions of the firmware you can download for north America.
Try an earlier version.

SOURCE: My pc will not download the firmware update. It

This is because you are telling the download window to open the file after downloading it. You aren't supposed to open this file under Windows, you're supposed to ship the file into the router. Windows has no idea how to open it, and that's what it's telling you. Instead, choose the option to just store the download in a file.

Hi, when I'm trying to to use the brother firmware update tool, an error message appears reading "your computer is processing print data. please wait until the print job is competed... There is no...

This is a normal message. All it is is the software has not been written to say something like. "New firmware is being sent to the printer" instead they have used the words you are getting. As you have not waited long enough for it to complete you may well have ruined the firmware and the main board. If however the machine is still working then by all means try the update again and wait for it to finish. I wonder why you are doing the firmware update as it is for a machine that is suffering problems. If the machine is working ok then DO NOT update the firmware.

Good luck.

When we try to review it come up "read Error" and dose not let us. also the flash stays on force flash, also wont shut off and freezes up . this all started last night we bought it a month ago...

Sorry, I do not see any firmware updates that apply to your flash situation, but I do see one that seems to apply to your picture review situation:
Please read the firmware update instructions and follow them carefully. Errors during firmware updates can ruin your camera:

I down load firmware for my netgear wgr614v7 router on to my compter and now i can open it what do i do ?

You need to install the firmware from your router. You need to open up Internet Explorer and type in the router IP address in the address bar. Usually, 192.168.1.1. Enter user name and password. Look for a firmware tab and follow the instructions.

Firmware update ruined my SA5285/37

Make sure the player is switched off.

Open Philips Device Manager.

Press and hold [VOL+] whilst connecting it to the PC.

PC will report and error with your device.

Follow on screen prompts.

This will format the player and restore the firmware.

Firmware update problems are usually caused by a low battery. If you battery is low leave the player for 5 minutes before disconnecting from the PC.

Troubles Transferring, now power

You are describing a software and firmware update.
The software update should not have any effect on the camera start-up, but the firmware update could.
Please check to see if there were any instructions sent with the firmware files (like a Read Me file or release notes), which might give you special instructions for properly loading the firmware. Some manufacturers require that you hold down certain buttons on the device when power cycling to load the firmware.
Also ALWAYS be sure to have newly charged batteries of the right type, because a power failure in the middle of a firmware upgrade can ruin a device, requiring service.
Go to their web site to get details about the firmware update, if you are sure you did infact update firmware. Also, their tech support should be able to assist you with additional issues if their recent release is problematice for any reason.
Good luck.
