Same thing again. Manually started update. Gives about a 2 minute countdown to start, then says preparing update for about a minute then goes blank.

I'll leave it on the charger overnight and set the automatic update for 1 am again. Will see what happens.

You’re explaining the same situations I went through. Would see the countdown and preparing for update and the modules click on and off and then turn black. Charged battery, changed battery etc and still nada.

Same thing happened to me, I disconnected my battery for about 15min, reconnected battery and the update installed perfectly after that.

Excellent. Will try tomorrow if update fails overnight.

Were you able to look through the window and see update progress on the screen?
