I am not a NEC certified technician so I am unable to do that but I have found a copy of the firmware update 7.63 online and have downloaded it. I just need to get a PC-ATA card (PCMCIA). Will any 32mb PCMCIA flash card work or will it only work with the NEC parts?

Edit: Or is it possible to use a CF-to-PCMCIA adapter and use a CF card? Is 32mb the max size supported?

I use the PCMCIA adapter with a CF on my updates for Aspire. I think I just bought a couple of the 32M CF to be on the safe side. anyway - it has always worked fine for me.

Thanks, I purchased a 32MB CF card along with a CF to PCMCIA addapter, I have put the software on the root of the CF card, installed it into the CF to PCMCIA adapter but when I install it into the PCMCIA port on the NTCPU board and power it up while holding the "load" button the software doesn't get loaded and I just get LED 1 flashing and the 4 red LED's below it solid red.

This is what the manual says to wait for but it never happens.

Wait until the Status LED on the NTCPU have the following indications (approximately 2 minutes):
LED 1: Steady Green, LED 0: Flashing Red, LED 2: Flashing Red, LED 3: Flashing Red,
LED 4: Steady Red.

Did you purchase NEC specific CF cards? I bought a cisco CF card that was cheapest on eBay, it works in my PC's card reader and can write the files to it but I'm wondering if they only accept NEC CF cards? I also purchased a SanDisk CF to PCMCIA card reader. Do you think it could be the fact that the CF card is not NEC's so it won't read it?

Sorry, I just found out that it will only work with NEC CF cards as I tested with the VM CF card from the new NTCPU board which came with it, backed up the contents and replaced it with the software update and used my CM to PCMCIA card adapter and it accepted the a7.63 update this time! And it is now showing "PC Programming 6.21" on the WebPro interface just like the faulty one that we have running currently.

I have loaded our config onto it, Now I just need to swap the PAL chips if needed and swap the boards out, wish me luck! I assume I need to swap the VM CM cards too if I want to keep previous voicemails etc... ???
