Troubleshooting
Q: My computer does not detect Spark GO.
A: Please try another USB port and avoid using USB hub.
Q: What should I do if the updater gets stuck at 2% or shows Error Code: -2?
A: Try running the updater again and see if that resolves the issue.
Q: After the firmware update, all four preset LED on Spark GO start flashing when powered on.
A: Retry running the updater once more. This can often resolve the issue of a failed update.
Q: After the firmware update, Spark GO cannot be connected via Bluetooth.
A: In your device's Bluetooth settings, forget the previous connection of Spark GO and then reconnect.
Q: If the Bluetooth update is interrupted midway (between 5% and 37%), what should I do?
