Philips lff 6080 "waiting file"

[ss]

Hi

I got hold of this machine and didn't expect it to work at all but it
at least powers up. But that's it for now as right after it starts it
displays "Waiting file" and all keys are dead.

Maybe a previously hung firmware update?
Haven't plugged it into my PC by now.


Is there a way to reset it? Someone has an idea?

TIA

Had enough time today and managed to solve this. Had to update the
Bootfile and the firmware and it's working fine again now.

All files can be had here:

first choose country then make and model.

Installing the Companion Suite and the drivers is necessary to update.

Connect printer and PC with a USB cable then start the "Companion
firmware update" and now comes the trick:
press 4, 6 and 2 simultaneously and power the printer up. It says now
"receiving file" in it's display. Choose the bootfile first, when
successful power down the printer and proceed in the exact same manner
for the new firmware.

Thanks for posting both the problem and a solution.
Who knows who may have the problem in the future and will find your thread.
