The error msg is "Bootloader invalid package 0099" and some times other numbers. I did some research and everything points to firmware. I bought the appropriate cords and found the CFM program but the damn thing wont work on my pc. It opens but then instantly has an error message saying it cannot save the firmware then closes.
Sorry for the essay but any ideas on what to do next? Im stuck
Cheers guys

You say the CFM wont open on the computer - if you are using a Windows system with Win 8 or higher, I found out the hard way that you need to run it in compatibility mode.
You might also find some useful assistance on the Team Celestron website -
