Title: Advice on Leaf Aptus backs
Post by: imykhan on June 07, 2022, 06:59:36 am

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I've had to replace the e-back on a Aptus II 7. I know it is an ancient back but any advice would be appreciated.

I need to somehow load the firmware for the sensor on the e-back. There is no support from Phase one or Leaf whatsoever.

Is there anyone here who has played around with Aptus backs in terms of updating the formware etc?

Kind regards
Imy

Have you tried connecting in LC11?
If so, what happens?

What are you referring to when you use the term "e-back"?

E-back is the module that runs everything, the sensor and eback need to have matching serial numbers, LC goes by the serial of the eback and uploads the wrong firmware.

My guess is that whoever swapped the sensor or electronics should do what is necessary to get it up and running...
