  When inserting the flash card into the H8000FW, should I see the "Busy" light illuminate? If so, I'm not seeing it which would indicate that the lithium battery is dead. If that is the case, I suppose I'll have to send the unit into Eventide to replace the battery so I can do the update given that you cant do serial updates on 5.5. Correct?
  
  Thanks

  When the H8000 is running normally you don't always get a reaction from putting the card in. If you hit the PROGRAM key with a card in you should get a flash of the BUSY light as it checks for User progs.
  
  There is no relationship between the card and the Lithium battery – you should only suspect the battery if you regularly get bad checksum messages on powerup.
  
  It is not necessary to send the unit back home to change the battery – a dealer or technically competent person should be able to do this (if necessary – see above).

  Thanks for the response. Let me back up a bit, long story short, my situation is nearly identical to DroolMaster0's from what I can tell. When I put the Compact Flash Card into the H8000 to update from 5.0 to 5.5, with a properly formated card (I've experimented with several brand new cards and adapters) I consistently get stuck on the prompt of "OUPDATE, awaiting contact" with a "restart" and a "done" option. The unit doesn't freeze or anything, I just hit either restart or done so I can start working.
  
  If I understand the directions for 5.5 properly you can only use the CF card to update to 5.5 is that correct?
  
  Thanks

  At this point, you should get a response from inserting the card. I f not, your problem is probably one of (in order):
  
  1) Badly written/formatted card
  
  2) Bad card
  
  3) Bad adaptor
  
  4) H8000 hardware problem
