Quoted from snakesnsparklers:Can you post a screenshot of your USB drive folder in Windows? If you have file extensions hidden then it's possible that you've named it Chroma.rom.rom but this can easily be solved.
That can definitely happen.
Some times a fresh FAT32 re-format using Windows of a smaller capacity thumb drive with chroma.rom saved to it without altering the file name in any way downloaded and saved directly to the thumb drive from the website will get you going.
Quoted from Jasenwm:Is it "CHROMA.ROM". Or Chroma.rom? I want make sure I'm spelling it in caps with quotes like the website says
No quotes on the filename.
Quoted from Jasenwm:Tried it every which way. Dmd just stays in Menu mode. Doesn't do anything different with the usb or not so idk. I think I'm just going to return it. I'm aggrieved and the pin is not playable because of this nonsense
You must power cycle the ColorDMD in order to re-attemp updating it with the USB drive.
The instructions I posted above have worked well for me anytime my USB drive is acting up for an update.
Are you formatting the thumb drive with a Mac?
Does the PROG LED flash during power up?
Does the PROG LED flash when you insert the thumb drive? This indicated the USB mounted properly.
Quoted from Jasenwm:After it download it the screen was just black and wouldn't show anything unless I pressed the menu button. They're sending me a new board with the code pre-installed
Did it show a white distorted DMD image before you first updated it?
Do you have the Stern White Star DMD Driver Board installed on the back of the ColorDMD with the red stripe facing the board’s corners on both ribbon cables attached to it? This could cause only the menu to work and no DMD image if those cables are backwards.
