Firmware flashing requires the driver to be properly installed, which may require disabling driver signature enforcement in Windows 7 or 8 even if the system indicates installation is complete.
The correct flashing procedure involves closing the upgrade software, entering a special menu mode by holding the menu button while powering on, connecting USB to the computer, verifying the device appears in Device Manager without error indicators, then launching the upgrade software and selecting Flash.
When using virtualization software like Parallels or VMware on Mac to run Windows, explicit USB port access must be granted to the Windows virtual machine or the monitor will not be recognized.
The flashing process should show a blue progress bar and data transfer count if successful, complete in less than 60 seconds, and result in the monitor automatically rebooting with no additional user indication during the final stages.
If the device appears in Device Manager with an error icon, the driver can be reinstalled by right-clicking it and pointing to the driver folder included with the upgrade software.
Mac users can perform firmware updates through virtualization software running Windows rather than requiring a native Mac driver.

This procedure applies to Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems.
One user reported the upgrade software indicated it was waiting for target reset but the procedure failed to complete even after trying the suggested recovery steps.
The discussion does not resolve all compatibility issues users experienced, particularly regarding PSF signal compatibility.
