Default Excelorin Orange light

It's back to haunt me......

I recently got myself some lipos after putting it off for as long as possible. So I decided to setup the software on the computer for my xcelorin. Had some issues running with Vista, but got it sorted by turning off all anti-virus etc.

My first problem, the lipo cutoff just wasn't registering. I would change it on the screen, send details, it says ok. Then I unplugged it, plugged it back in and read the settings, it comes up with lipo 6v cutoff, but it doesn't cut off. So I tried some of the other settings, like brakes, forward/reverse, none of which registered either.

Did a bit of research and decided to install the latest firmware. Now I know his can be fatal if done wrong, so I triple checked I had the correct upgrade for my speedo. Followed the instructions to the letter, but then disaster struck and dreaded orange light came on the esc. And that is how it has stayed.

I have tried the aqpc card, factory reset, pressing and holding the reset button, all to no avail. ESC just stays on orange no matter what and it won't work atall now.

I have also removed and re-installed the original software.

Then problem seems to be that the esc now won't register with the software, it gives a read error on the screen.

I am guessing it is back to horizon time? But thought I would ask here before I call them in the morning just in case.........

Anyone got any idea what is going on?
