Re: RCX Firmware trouble
It has been my experience that this problem occurs in one of two ways. The battery compartment has a series of contacts that become pushed back into the case. With the batteries in place and the cover off, if you turn the RCX over and shake it and a few batteries fall out, then you know which contacts need to be aligned. The second problem has been that the firmware has been corrupted during the load process. This is usually caused by interference with the IR tower during the load. Placing a box or an open notebook over the RCX and IR tower during firmware load will usually cure this problem. Remember that firmware takes at least four minutes to complete. Also check that the battery in the IR tower (non-USB versions) is fully charged.
