Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has suggestions for the following:

CS2 60213 HW 3.1 initially with SW 1.35(?). I purchased the Marklin Controller iPhone app and was keen to try this out so therefore had to upgrade my SW. Installed SW 1.4.0(1) via USB (couldn't get internet method to work). Following update, I had two glitches: stop bar continuously flashing and lower half of bitmap displayed during shutdown corrupted, but otherwise the CS2 worked normally. Couldn't get the iPhone app to connect, then noticed posts on this forum that a later version of 1.4.0(1) was required for the app.

Tried again to do an update via internet but again didn't get this to work. I was able to see the CS2 from my PC (ping, explorer html, and tried iTrain, which was able to connect and send switch settings to the CS2, but not upload any info, e.g. on locomotives, from the CS2).

I then tried a repeat update with the USB (see if a later version was out, and if the glitches would be fixed). This failed, with the CS2 update progress bar in a continuous loop until the CS2 powered itself down (5 to 10 min, afterwhich I pulled the plug). Now when I power up, the CS2 starts up loading, but never gets past this state (loading progress bar in loop until CS2 eventually powers itself down, i.e. screen goes blank but stop bar continues to flash). I can see the CS2 from my PC and ping it when in this state. Now my CS2 is stuck in this state and unusable.

I tried to do a (downgrade) repair via USB: http://www.maerklin.de/de/service/hilfe/faq.html "Reparatur der CS 2 bei versehentlichem Downgrade ", however this didn't work.

I also had this problem a year ago (first time I ever tried to conntect it to the internet), and sent the C2 back to Marklin, who repaired it (i.e. installed a newer version of SW). This was done under warranty, which has now run out a month ago!

Appreciate any suggestions, otherwise it is back to Marklin.

Cheers,
Peter

They move the configuration from the CS2 to the stick (i.e. delete them from the CS2).
If the CS2 hangs on startup because the old software cannot read the new configuration files, this "repair" will solve the problem. You can then upgrade and re-load the configuration.

If the OS is corrupt, this won't help.

Tom

Hello Peter,

it newer worked this way. you cannot choose in the menue to update per USB. This is only for the backups, not for the softwaare updates.
For the USB update just copy the file in the root directory of an USB stick, connect the stick to the CS2 and boot the CS2. it will update all alone.

Make sure you delete any other files from your USB stick, i.e. there should only be the update files on your USB stick, and nothing else.
