Can't update G2 firmware - Connectivity Kit doesn't see calculator

[MikeSD]

I'm using a Dell, PC with Windows, with i7 processor.

Can't update G2 firmware - Connectivity Kit doesn't see calculator.

I've installed the latest 64 bit connectivity kit.
It asked if I wanted to download the latest firmware. I did.
I can see the firmware is in the location it's supposed to be..
I connected the prime G2, to the PC, by USB.

But when I click update Calculator, it sayss "no calculator connected"

I've checked the device manager and don't see any issues with USB

Any secret tricks to getting this to work?

Well this is odd... Answering my own question.

I just realized that my PC isn't giving me the tone, when I connect a USB device. So I suspected there might be something wrong with the cable that came with the G2.

So, I got a different cable, plugged it in, and when I ran the CK, it immediately asked if I wanted to update. It updated just fine. Looks like the G2 cable that came with the calc, was bad.

I can now see the display on the calc has changed and I have Python installed, which wasn't there before.

Update: Looks like the latest version is buggy. About 1 minute after installing the update, it locked up the calculator. I had to do a reset, and it reverted back to the previous version. I had to update it again.

The second update seemed to go ok and I'm back to where I was.

Now, to find a good tutorial on the G2.

For my calculators, I have to use an intermediate hub, so that connections are reliable.
The PC is a few years old Lenovo, and this applies to the last generation G1, and the G2.
