Thanks for the heads up i will try it again. I dont have a laptop only a desktop. I suppose i could plug the xl2411z on the onboard VGA (and leave it off this time) and use either the onboard dvi or my graphics card output as display. Well hope i can get this thing together again.

Hey guys, yesterday i tried flashing my xl2411Z from v1 to v2 firmware. I was using the vga port of my i5 processor iirc and followed the steps in the guide.
