hi, i was just about to download all the new software to my sv2, which is 4.51 and 7.0 and an original, when it flashed up serial port connection fail. i was using the null moden rs232f cable. i have used this before to flash a few other sv2's, including the 1 im trying to fix now and has worked fine up to yesterday.

i had a similar problem with the SV3 what i did was a factory reset then flashed that seemed to of worked also turn off your firewall if you have one and also try turning off your AV just whilst flashing they could be blocking the port

nope, no luck. did a factory reset, turned firewall off. still nothing. the serial port has always worked for me in the past with the rs232 lead. is there any other lead i could try?
