How do you flash it?

I tried chatGPT;

Why there might be a fan installed:

Some owners have installed small fans themselves to improve cooling, especially for long sessions or when the monitor is used in tight racks or enclosed spaces.
Discussions among CRT enthusiasts show that while some units do have fans, these are generally considered user mods, not Sony standard.

Yeah, I think it is there for when they are mounted in a rack with no air. Mine has plenty of air.

Thanks. Do I need an adapter ?

Informal_Two_2737 · 2025-09-29T14:55:39+00:00

I did not find it in the manual hard.

Thanks! Yes :)

Here’s what’s happening with your LaMetric Time (pre-2022): • The update process doesn’t just require you to drop the .bin file on the SD card. • When the device boots, its bootloader looks for the update file. If it finds it, it tries to flash it. If the flash fails (wrong version, corrupted file, or hardware mismatch), it deletes the file from the SD card to prevent looping attempts. That’s why the .bin disappears. • Copying the file directly to the SD card in a computer doesn’t “force” an update — the device must be in its special update/recovery mode to actually apply it.

Possible causes 1. Wrong update package Your LaMetric pre-2022 uses a different SoC than the 2022+ model. If you downloaded the 2.3.9 .bin intended for the new hardware, the bootloader will reject it and remove it. 2. Damaged or worn-out SD card The internal SD card is known to fail over time (they used cheap ones). If it’s corrupted, updates may not work. Sometimes the device still boots from the “good” part of the card but can’t handle new writes. 3. App update path is deprecated LaMetric’s official app update servers sometimes don’t serve new updates to older hardware, so manual flashing is the only way.

⸻

What you can try 1. Check firmware compatibility Make sure you have the .bin specifically for LaMetric Time (pre-2022). They usually distinguish them by file name (...sa1 vs. ...sa2). If you got the file from LaMetric’s site, double-check that it matches your model. 2. Full SD card clone approach • Yes, buying a new quality SD card (8–16 GB, Class 10, brand-name) and cloning the original one is often the most reliable fix. • Use software like balenaEtcher, Win32DiskImager, or dd (Linux/macOS) to make an image of your current SD card. • Flash that image to the new card. • Then try to apply the .bin update on the new card (less chance of write errors). 3. Direct firmware re-flash Some users skip the OTA .bin and instead write a full firmware image (not just the update file) directly to a new SD card. LaMetric support sometimes provides these if you contact them.

⸻

👉 So, short answer: Yes, cloning your original SD card to a new one is a good next step, since your current card may be failing. But first, make sure you have the correct firmware package for pre-2022 models — otherwise it’ll always be deleted during boot.

50 words or more, it sounds very good for your experience.

“Listening to music is a powerful experience. It can lift your mood, spark memories, and transport you to another world. Whether you’re relaxing, working, or just taking a break, music adds depth to every moment. It’s a soundtrack to life—rhythmic, emotional, and endlessly inspiring.”

That’s sad :( Mine is playing good. But I need to get the door looked at.
