[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 500584, member: 20945"] I agree with airshot Across the board (printed circuit boards too), updates can be a problem. Even the latest update on my apple phone annihilated the use of voice to text so I have to wait for the fix in the next update. It isn't just software that can be updated, it can include updates to programmable hardware too and if the software isn't written correctly it can permanently incapacitate a programmable integrated circuit (PIC). The damage done to a PIC is generally called bricked as in the device now has the processing power of a brick. I have seen this frequently with electronic devices of all kinds. If you can send it back to the company, that's your best plan. It also gives them a good look at how their product is holding up to use by the customer. Finally, if you choose not to update, the device may just quit and you may get zero support from the dealer. [/QUOTE]
