[SOLVED] CDJ 900 Updating Firmware Issue

I recently purchased two CDJ 900s.  One had version 4.05 firmware, the other 2.0.

I downloaded 4.2 and updated the 4.05 CDJ with no issues.  When I try to repeat the process for the CDJ with 2.0, it does not update.  After holding USB and Reloop I get the message to insert my USB.  I insert the same USB that I used to update my other CDJ.  I get the "Now Updating" blinking light, along with the Auto Beat Loops blinking, after a minute or so my screen reverts to just the PIONEER logo.  Nothing else happens.  I have tried to let that sit for an hour, no updates.  I have powered off, unplugged the CDJ, ensured no link etc was plugged in - same issue everytime.  Like I said, it worked fine of the other CDJ.  I have read that you can go from 2.0 to 4.2 - but I cant think of anything else that could be the issue.....any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

I should have also added that I am using a new USB drive that is FAT32 - plus it worked on one CDJ, so I dont think that the USB drive or update files are the issue.

@Jon > Thanks for posting the video.

Can you try using a different USB stick with update files placed on the root of the FAT32 formatted USB stick, please?

Thanks Gavin - I actually brought it to my local repair shop, they tested with a different USB, same results.  After a few more tests, they were finally able to update via a CD.  Thankfully the guys at Sound House in Brooklyn, NY are very persistent and didnt give up!
