Well is does say not to apply "V3" patches to a V2 PE.

It did not say "V3 and above" or "V3+".

But this is obviously a quibble.

I thought the V4 upgrade (since it was not mentioned, had resolved whatever the issue was with the V3 upgrade.

I also searched the forum and did not see anything about the OS upgrade.

My bad. Mistakes do happen.

(Well, at least now I know that I have a rev 2 PE...I had no idea)

I'll order my fancy upgrade CPU and be on my way.

Thanks, Murray.

This can be ordered at my cost price using the orders page. You will need to disassemble your PE to fit this but no soldering is required. You can try reapplying the rev 2 program but I suspect you have broken the firmware.
