How do you try to update? VRM portal or VictronConnect? Do you get an error message?

Ok finally figured it out. As part of firmware upgrade inverter shuts down…which cuts power to my computer, used a laptop and firmware upgrade went smoothly as laptop has its own power. Cheers and thanks for all the help.

Victron connect with with mk3 connected to computer. No error message inverter looses power, therefore computer also looses power. Inverter kicks back in couple seconds later

Only have Bluetooth dongle normally connected but unconnected it for firmware upgrade, same result. When I'm connecting to victron connect I do get the message unknown product 2711. Still connects and I can change settings.

Uninstalled Victron connect and reinstalled on computer…no joy. Going to try another laptop.
