Audiomoth won't get into flash mode

Hi all,

I'm trying to update my Audiomoth's firmware to 1.3.0 (currently using 1.2.1). I downloaded the Flash App and followed the instructions to manually switch to flash mode but I end up with a "No AudioMoth found" status at the end of the instructions, after both leds go off using the paperclip:

The steps I follow are the following:

1- Set the switch to CUSTOM

2- Remove the 3 batt's (both led's are flashing)

3- Connect the PROGRAM contacts with a paperclip until led's go off

4- The instructions show No AudioMoth found on the current status. It's also said verify connection

For some reason, I hear the usb disconnection sound on my laptop a few seconds after I get to step 4 and leds start flashing again.

I'm using Windows 8 64 bits.

Any ideas what is causing this problem?

Many thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi Andy, I didn't reply as I haven't got the chance to try it in a different laptop yet. Will do whenever I can! Cheers,

How did it go with another laptop?

Hi Andy, Will try in a different laptop. Can you specify what USB driver from the list showing in the picture you mean? Thank you,

Hi Rob,

I think that one of the USB drivers that is already installed is stopping the AudioMoth CDC driver working. Do you have another PC/laptop you could try?

Thanks,

Andy

This is what the USB ports show (sorry about the Spanish language, let me know if you need any translation):

I've got a HDD and a mouse plugged via USB too.

Thanks,
