    See this link: http://www.alpriority.com/faqs/prope...mware-upgrade/
    And also see this for setup file: http://www.alpriority.com/faqs/proper-name-setup-file/
    I downloaded the firmware file after giving the website my serial number. The file name is Uxxxxxxx.bin so I'm pretty sure it's correct. The setup file is name setup.alp as instructed as well.

    When I plugged in the USB drive and turned on the unit for updating the firmware, I got a red steady light with 3 series of 7 beeps. Does that mean my update succeed?

    Error 7 is a firmware update error. Are you using a name brand formatted Fat 16 or Fat 32 drive? Was it empty with only your ALP files? Download the firmware again and try to update it again.

    Yes, mine is a sandisk cruzer micro 8GB that has served me well. I also tried a patriotXT 32GB and a corsair 1GB just now and got the same result? Could it be because I already update the firmware and subsequent update error out? I formatted all of these as FAT32 under windows 8.1

    UCSET.bin ,which is for the upgrade for the controller, this upgrade goes in with the system switched off insert usb and switch on, i think it needs this before the rest of the updates can go as normal,

    BRD, I came home late today so i couldn't give you a call. However, I made a video just now showing me resetting the unit to factory default, downloading the firmware and attempting the update. The video also shows my serial number so I will PM you the link. Thanks everyone for your help.
