I have a ML6000 which i tried to update with the latest firmware (660G.GS007library) as this was recommended on the dell support website.
---snip---
Version 660G.GS007,A30
---snip---
I uploaded the file (660G.GS007library.tgz) via the web interface. It accepted the file and tried to install the firmware. At least i thought so ...
After some 60 minutes i tried to reconnect to the library (i was able to ping it) but only got "connection refused". I then walked over to the library and was slightly astonished to see "firmware downgrade in progress ... please wait ..."
I let the system sit there over night (as it was time to go home anyway) and today i tried again to connect to it. No such luck. Apparently the firmware install was faulty and the library was still showing the above mentioned message on the display. I then switched off the whole system.
After some 10 minutes i switched it on again and it showed "initialization in progress" for about three minutes, then the display went black.
Subsequent tries to get the thing to boot again have all been unsucessful. Display STAYS BLACK!
On the LCB all three LEDs are lit and STAY lit all the time (i watched it for 5 minutes - until my eyes crossed :-) )
I then found a procedure (in this forum) discussing an unsucessful firmware updates and tried:
a) switched the library off and removed all power cords, b) removed the LCB, c) switched the library on, d) let it run for 10 minutes, e) switched it off again, f) reseated the LCB, g) switched it on again.
But to no avail.
This system is from 2006 and without warranty (i know ...) but maybe someone could help me with this issue.
Cheers
Christian
