IanS Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Hi all Just bought a Jester ML but can't get USB stick to work, flashes then stops. won't save a show or upload V3. Any idea's Thanks Ian Quote
Jon Hole Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Ian, I know this is all basic stuff, so sorry, but does the USB stick work fine in a computer / laptop, and have you tried formatting the USB stick? Cheers Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
IanS Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 Yep works fine everywhere else. Going to by new stick today just in case, but don't think its at fault. Desk still on V1 will this make a differance. Ian Quote
Kirkup_xp Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Ian Worth trying the update, and also trying another USB stick. Some brands of USB sticks do funny things to their sticks which makes them inaccessible by a relatively simple processor such as the Jesters. Switching to another brand or even using the unbranded (cheaper) sticks generally fixes the problem. Let us know how you get on, Peter Quote Peter Kirkup
IanS Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 Still no joy!! tried different stick N/G, local computer shop said to reformat stick, tried a few formats. which format does the desk use. The USB host has now updated Main 03.58VDAPF RPRG 1.00R. Desk knows there's no shows on stick but still won't save a show. Starting to panic now as gig on sunday night!! Quote
Jon Hole Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Have you tried downloading the 3.0 JesterML Operating System? It's available as a direct download here and instructions here Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
IanS Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 All Sorted:) Borrowed 1gb very old stick and updated all with out problem. Thanks Ian Quote
IanS Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 Its all to do with how the files are stored on the USB stick, once over 1GB the stick compatments the files so the ML can't find them. Now on the search for a new stick, no one in town has one!! Thanks again for all your support. Ian Quote
IanS Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 Have you tried downloading the 3.0 JesterML Operating System? It's available as a direct download here and instructions here My 4GB stick still won't work in the desk on V3, can we have a patch to sort the problem. Ian Quote
Kirkup_xp Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Hi Ian What you are suggesting is most likely correct, that larger sticks use alternate file systems or structures that the simple processor in a Jester is unable to support. We do stock 1gb memory sticks ourselves which we know work well with the Jesters - although these are not particularly cost-effective, we do guarantee they will work with the consoles. Out of interest, what brand is your 4gb stick? Peter Quote Peter Kirkup
