RE: WP34s flashing procedure
Dieter, Walter is giving you good advice, use the 'update' sequence not the 'erase' sequence. In that way you need not worry about your cable buttons, whether the strobe is working, etc.

What you are going through is the primary reason for why I put the instrumentation into my flash-box. My unit did not update early this morning. But, I noticed that the Tx light was on solid... I said to myself, "that's not supposed to happen". The FTDI converter got honked and needed to be reset. Without the lights, I would just be guessing, "why didn't it work". I unplugged the cable and reseated it; voila... worked fine the next time after reset.

I have also had the problem where the ON switch did not make. In that situation the 'update' will fail, of course. Because the display is normally blank during this process without instrumentation you really don't know whether the beasty came on or not. When the unit comes on the 'reset' pin J32 goes high. If you monitor that pin somehow you will know whether your unit came 'ON' when you pressed the 'ON' button.
