Sorry for asking a daft question but what are the benefits in updating the firmware? Like MrDj said, if it aint broke....
I know. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. The fire button sometimes misfired, it was a fix for that & something to do with the SS temp control. I guess I thought it would be simple, like we update and download other devices don't we? Mobile phone software, apps etc etc, so I thought, well they've made an improvement so I'll update it. I thought it would be a case of plug in, download...job done. Obviously something has failed somewhere whether ive done it wrong or not I'm not 100% sure yet.Sorry for asking a daft question but what are the benefits in updating the firmware?

I know exactly what you mean m8, i was eventually gonna get round to updating mine until i seen this and similar threads about bricked devices. Not worth the risk imo.I know.

Thing is theres that many topics, threads, posts on here its hard to keep upto date with everything, I don't know how people manage to spot these things???. Obviously if id have seen what happened to them then I wouldn't have updated mine. Ive not seen any other mod with a screen as nice as the Alien. Anyway, its an excuse to buy a new mod now, but this time, I think I'll go more for reliability and customer service incase things go wrong again(hopefully not).I know exactly what you mean m8, i was eventually gonna get round to updating mine until i seen this and similar threads about bricked devices.

if it wont turn on simply reflash it with the correct update
If might be nice if you explain how to do that as obviously a lot of people in this thread are unaware how simple it is to fix.
