[WP34s] What am I doing wrong? Message #1 Posted by Dieter on 18 Nov 2012, 8:28 a.m.
Finally I am about to flash a HP30b to become my first "hardware" WP34s. :-) Everything required should be there: A computer running XP SP3, equipped with two physical on-board RS232-ports, which are reported by the OS to be configured as COM1 and COM2, set to 9600 baud and 8N1, I got the HP programming cable and there also is the MySamba flash tool (modified version from the WP34s sourgeforge site).
I followed the steps as described in the manual, and everything works fine from step A1 to A8 - the display finally turns off as it is supposed to. However, the next step (press ON/CE and the display should stay blank) will not work - the 30b turns on. In other words: all I get is a reset 30b.
What am I doing wrong here, and where should I look for the cause of this? The 30b is new, so the batteries should be fresh.
