Innotab 3 failed firmware update - 3enjdw - 12-14-2014
Hello - I am really please to find this forum !
I have a couple of Innotab 3 's - One of which now appears to be bricked
Both are well out of warranty.
I connected one to my computer to register with learning lodge - and it told me a firmware update was required.
So I went through the motions:
Downloaded firmware through learning lodge,
ejected USB & powered down,
Upon a reboot I get:
the Vtech splash screen & sound,
then a black screen with the "firmware update in progress update may take up to a minute to complete" screen which lasts for about a minute
then a black screen.
nothing more.
Connecting to a computer gives me nothing either
Please can someone advise as to what options I have here? there is currently no SD card in the tablet.
Thanks in advance

I believe others have had similar issues, but unsure if they were resolved. Have you tried contacting Vtech to see if there is a software solution you can do yourself to fix it?

Hi. Have you been able to reaolve this? I'm having this same issue and I'm afraid to go through the process of opening up the tablet when I don't even know what's wrong with it.
