Hi all,
Picked up a second-hand Fox ESS KH7 hybrid inverter, but on power-up it is completely frozen in bootloader mode. The screen sits indefinitely on:
===== HMI ===== Program...
All three front status LEDs (Fault, Comm, Run) stay lit solid and the unit doesn’t advance or communicate with the battery.
It looks like the HMI firmware flash failed or corrupted, and it's waiting for replacement binaries via the underside USB port. Does anyone have the USB recovery package (update/hmi etc.) or a link to the KH7 firmware files so I can flash it from a FAT32 thumb drive?
Happy to provide the exact serial / hardware revision from the side plate if needed.
Cheers!
