Hi zeng,this could also be a hypothesis,
at least firmware update flash magic shows progress and when finished.
A minimum of debugging errors I hope to have it made!
I have tried with different firmware, but the result is always the same
Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

Hi PPL.. I was unavailable for some days as I was out of home on big job.
Contacted my webmaster.... they're doing server upgrades. Website should be up again soon.... ( nothing new in it.....just as yet )
As I came back.. I am now checking my inbox ( Awwwww!!!!)
Support emails first are replied, then others .
Re Piclocs getting stuck in what seems like bootloader mode.... this is very strange, and was not encountered by anyone..till now.
I am asking people with this Picloc issue to contact me for a quick Skype call to resolve this issue that they may have which could be PC related.
Updates.... yes... in the pipeline.
Both for firmware ( Thanks Snurre ( page 98 post ) )
and for new products.

The world is so small..... ( a local native saying.....)
Was on a skype with one of the guys that has the issue mentioned above.
Ticking 'Fill Unused Flash' in FlashMagic got the Picloc back to life.
This procedure with Fill Unused Flash needs only to be done once... It will re-allign the processor memory banks.
The original cause may have been a corrupted previous firmware upload..... example.... playing music or a video file, browsing etc.. while doing a firmware upgrade... on a not so powerful PC.... like a netbook.
One thing to be aware of.
Normally, a firmware upgrade takes less then 2 minutes.
Picloc is only using 21% of its memory right now with current firmware v56_76
(21% = many future goodies were planned.... that's why I didn't skimp on choosing the cheapest and smallest processor )
With 'Fill Unused Flash' it takes much more time than 2 minutes.. Have not measured it yet. but its less than 10 minutes.
So make sure your laptop is not doing other stuff when doing the firmware upload... at least only for the time when you've selected 'fill unused flash'.

A quick note that I have Piclocs for sale listed in the Photo/Video Equipment For Sale section.
hello,
my picloc is working almost well, but I have a new problem.
I was planning to setup my picloc directly where I'm flying with a jetibox, more easy setup than using the computer.
but, I've buyed a jetibox mini, and the jetibox says waiting for device.
I've searched to find the answer, in this post we can find a george solution, consit of removing R2 and replace it by some wire or solder.
I've done it but the jetibox still waiting for device...
I've seen some pics of people who make it work, but I haven't find the solution.
so the wire in the back of the jetibox mini is connected to alimentation, and the wire "ext" is connected to the picloc.
can the jetibox users help me ? maybe george also. thanks.

about my jetiminibox issues: thanks to peterd, the solution is to ad a switch to the power of the jeti box to allow picloc initialising first, and then power on the jetiminibox after picloc intialised, and enjoy, it works.
if jeti is powered before or same time of picloc it will says : "waiting for dev"

George I need your help. Picloc was working fine till Friday, then on Saturday when I powered it up it just did not respond. It comes on with the White and Red LEDs> I tried reflashing the firmware a few times with fill unused flash ticked, and still no joy at all. Also I notice that the LEDS start flashing (all of them) if its left connected to the USB for a while.
Have emailed you about this as well.
