Vive FAQ: How do I update the firmware?

[Mike]

1. 
   
2. From your computer, do one of the following:
   
   • 
     
   • On the SteamVR status window, mouse over on any of the hardware icons to check if the firmware is out of date, and then select to update the firmware.
     
   • On the SteamVR app, click , and then click Devices > Update firmware.
     
   
   
   
3. Follow the prompts on the screen.
   

   If the update is for the controllers or base stations, you'll be asked to connect them to your computer using a micro-USB cable.

   
   
   Warning: While firmware updates are in progress, do not unplug the micro-USB or power cables that connect your hardware to your computer. Doing so could result in a firmware error.

So i did this. The one base station updated correctly. The second one during the process, the led light changed from solid green to a dim red. I tried repeating the process. Nothing happens so i think it is corrupted the firmware and i want to try another method of loading the firmware
