Was it a legit firmware upgrade that was conducted?

Maint mode happens when the head and drawer don't communicate. Can you read the code plug? Were you able to tell if the control head firmware updated during the update process? What happens when you out the head into self test if that even works? What info does it spit out?

Lastly do you have the hardware to convert it to an O5 and test that?
