First Impressions

[Boo]

LOL well I appear to have bricked my calculator. Temporarily, I hope!
I used the connectivity kit and right-clicked on the calculator and noted "Update firmware" in the menu. Good idea to be up to date, I though, so I selected that. Calculator displays "HP Prime recovery mode V13." on a white HP background. Disappears from connectivity kit. CK gives an error in update. I now have a calculator I cannot turn off, and which does not appear when I connect it. In Linux, I see a new USB device (HP Prime Update [0100]) so I tried mounting that USB in VirtualBox. I see simply an empty folder. Same emptyness on Ubuntu.

I see this in the logs...

Well, that's where I'm at right now. I guess.
A hard reset (paper clip) has restored the calculator to normal, but obviously getting that firmware update working is my next trick. Time for bed.
