Hi,

Maybe a stupid question, but before I apply the firmware upgrade do I in fact have to unstall the SDL Libraries first???

thx.

No you don't, and that wasn't a stupid question.

there aren't any stupid questions, just stupid people.

actually I found the upgrade goes pretty easy and fast.. and it really did NOT drain batteries... I don't know why the dev told everyone to pay so much caution (ok besides the SD issue which is fixed by now)

What made you think that it drains the batteries any faster than anything else? The point about having fully charged batteries when you flash any device is so that you know for a fact that they're not going to die and cause a failed flash. Even if you think 'it doesn't matter, I've only used these batteries for an hour so they'll be fine' that's no guarantee that they'll have enough power in them. They might not have been fully charged, or someone else could have played with the device without your knowledge for an unknown amount of time, or you might even have the wrong set of batteries in by mistake. Anyone who flashes without checking the batteries first is an idiot.
