The HP41CL made a beep every ~ 5 sec.. PC shew many, many „)“.

And after nearly 3 hours the procedure ended, as mentioned at the beginning.
But unfortunately without success.

Please see the screenshot of the pc. Do you have any idea? If not, I will try it again.

I have not used TURBO50. I used it first, but the FLCHK? needed only a few seconds, so I thought something went wrong.

The update functions automatically go to 50x while running. Nothing you need to do.

Your first FLCHK? ran in CPONLY mode, which is MUCH faster. Nothing went wrong. The message on the screen should have shown the number of pages needing an update. and it would have been fine to do FLUPD at that point.

Your screenshot shows the FLCHK? running regularly, taking long enough that the connection to the serial port (by Java) seems to have been lost. The "keep-alive" message sent by the 41CL was intended to keep the PC awake, but unfortunately doesn't seem to do that. Best laid plans.
