[Retry]
========
Please try below before contacting your dealer for support in case of failure. We do not guarantee this operation helps, but mostly works to fix troubles. 
 
* If X100 freezes after the progress bar appeared in green and stopped, unplug the USB cable, remove the battery if attached, so that the display on the X100 turns off.
* Leave it for 30 seconds or more to discharge electricity inside components of X100. Reconnect the USB cable. If you did not change any power supply parameters before updating, you will not need a battery.
* It is normal the power key does not respond and there is no display on the X100. Match it to the COM port that was used before the software froze, and press the write button on the update tool again.
* If update does not restart, try changing the conditions such as removing and attaching the battery or changing the COM port.
