What did SD support say? They're sometimes maddenly slow and repetitive, but they're persistent and by now they've seen a lot of different troubles, so they may recognize the issue.

they know the issue but they think its not an "issue" if you want send in mb for update thats it okey whit them.
but i want do it from home same money shipping/ custom.

Yeah, I knew I could probably do that, but the issue is their very slow response.  After waiting almost 6 months for the Press, I am afraid to send the motherboard in, cause I might die before it gets returned...

I never could get my old SD3 to upgrade by flashing the firmware, just too complicated and never worked, so I just sprung for a new motherboard.  Now I have to look forward to the same hassle.  My press will not print well on the first two layers, no matter what I do.  I figure the bed is so warped and uneven that the 9 probe points are not enough to get a flat print.  I would love to have 16 points so I could actually use my machine as intended.  There must be an easier way to make it happen  Solidoodle.  I've looked at your directions to do so, and we have to cut and paste...really, too much confusion to follow, I know I will just screw up the firmware already installed. Need help!

Is it possible that your z-offset is wrong?

I guess anything is possible, but I've tried all settings and print just plows through on second layer.  My conclusion is that the bed is warped so bad it will not print in certain areas.  Just about to give up on this machine.

if someone here can and have done reflashing please respond on "how to do it"
no other way to update whitout standalone programer?

Confirmed, "M853 P4" command increased probe points to 16 without having to flash firmware. Don't forget the M500 to store the change.

wow ok i need to check this..

but when i write m853 i get no info in the command line

do you have the upgraded press or the early version ?
