Unable to prepare Vera for firmware update

I tried doing the following instructions to update Vera 2’s firmware, but I could not get past step #5 - the power button never blinks. I’m holding down the unlabeled black button as I plug the power to Vera 2. I waited as long as a few minutes, but the power button still doesn’t blink. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

  1. Download Vera’s firmware and store it on your PC’s hard drive. You can get the firmware here: http://download.controlmyhouse.net/firmware/wl500gP-1.0.602.trx

  2. Download the firmware restoration utility and unzip it into a folder on your PC. The utility is here: http://download.controlmyhouse.net/flash_firmware.zip

  3. Connect your PC’s network connection the LAN 1 port of Vera. It must be LAN 1, not any of the other LAN ports.

  4. Give your PC a static IP: 192.168.1.2, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You can leave the gateway and dns server blank.

  5. Run the program ‘rescue.exe’. Click ‘browse’ and find the firmware.

  6. Unplug the power to Vera. Hold the black button in while you reconnect the power. Let go of the black button when the power light starts blinking.

  7. Click ‘upload’ in the firmware utility. It takes up to 5 minutes to flash the firmware. Please note you may need to disable your Antivirus software to run the EXE. The anit-virus will think this is maliciuos code.

My bad… I was using instructions for Vera 1.

If your not trying to recover from a failure then place this link into your browser from a PC on the same network as Vera2.

It should give you the option to upgrade to the latest version.
