When reflashing, LXE recommends using a Compact Flash (CF) card that is greater
than 64MB. Files to be loaded on the CF card are: NK.BIN, EBOOT.NB0, XSCALE.BIT.
•
A screwdriver (not supplied by LXE)
•
PCMCIA to CF card adapter
•
LXE recommends that installation of the CF card be performed on a clean, well-lit
surface.
•
Loosen the captive screws securing the user access panel cover. The cover is
tethered to the VX3X.
Make sure the VX3X has an uninterrupted power connection before beginning
the reflash procedure. Loss of power during the reflash process can result in
corrupted files.
