What To Do If Your Card Locks Up

In very rare cases of the card locking up during a firmware upgrade (such as
power interruption during a card firmware upgrade), the card can be set to
boot from its non-volatile file (“safe image”) held in card ROM.

When the safe image is loaded, the card is now rebooted/unlocked and can
receive a target firmware upgrade .bin file (which, if not stored on your
computer can be downloaded from

Support>Firmware Download

link at

www.cobaltdigital.com).

Perform the following steps in the order listed as necessary until normal
operation is restored.

2

Hold the lower button in and slide the card into a powered slot.

3

With card fully in slot, continue holding the button for about 3

seconds then release it.

1

Place the card in its frame slot but do not fully insert into slot yet.

4

When the card-edge 4-character display shows

BOOT

, the card is

now rebooted and ready to receive its firmware .bin operating file.

NOTE: Your card’s Presets
may be erased following this
procedure. You may be able
to re-apply them after
performing this procedure as
described in Uploading
Your Presets
on the next
page.
