btw, I'm using window 7

after you press the RESET button, can you see the "HID compliant device" in your windows human interface device list?

and tell me which version P3FREE you have got?

exactly, it's very important!

I do see the HID compliant device in my device manager. I have tried to load it on two different computers and have had no success.

I believe mine's a F0 firmware. It has a "2+" written instead of a "2"
I'll try to look for "HID compliant device" under human interface device list when I try again tonight

if you can see the "HID compliant device", it mean your PC haev detected it already!

no led on... and computer does not detect any HID

Here is my screen shot. I hope you guys can figure this out.

mkfox52 and RIT_ninja , if your kits are the last "F0" version, then it mean it's USB upgradeable when they ship out. i think it's some wrong operation to make the BTL brick.

you need ship back to the shop to ask they reburn the BTL for you, or you can buy one serial FPC programmer directly.

Where exactly am I supposed to send my p3free stick. Whenever I contact the ic2005 support team they tell me to post in this forum. So what am I supposed to do?

Thanks all

BTW it has never worked. The first time I connected the p3free stick to upgrade it failed to preform.

just send back to them ,they will give you one replacement.

anywway, you are first user report here it "never work"...
my suggestion is going to buy one FPC programmer for your future update.
