Troubleshooting
Q: My computer does not detect Spark GO.
A: Please try another USB port and avoid using a 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 LEDs 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?
A: Do not immediately reconnect the USB for updating. Wait for about one to two minutes until the device shuts down on its own, then restart it before attempting to communicate with the updater again.
