Hello everyone,

I recently bought a couple of REX 6000 units off eBay. One of them was fully
functional while
the other had a damaged screen. Upon receiving them, I tried to do a firmware
update on the
fully functional one but the dock --serial model-- batteries went bust in the
process.

Now all I can see when I turn it on is a "Please connect" message that is
followed by a
"Updating firmware" progress bar whenever I place it on the dock.

Also, the day I did the firmware update, I bought a new battery set for the REX
but 2 days
later those batteries are spent!

So I would like to ask a few questions to the people in this group:

1. Have you ever recovered your REX devices from a failed firmware update?
2. If not, do you think it will be possible to swap the screen and motherboard
between them?
3. The above procedure requires some sort of soldering?
4. Someone experienced such a short lifespan on your batteries?

All your comments are appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
