The printer is programmed to commit suicide and tell you that a certain service component needs replacing the engineer’s manual tells the engineer to inform the owner that the printer has reached the end of its useful life. So, how on earth did they discover that a ‘low remaining life’ of this battery could cause problems? Time travel? Ah, that’s the answer – someone will have accidentally set the date to 2021, making the camera think its internal battery needed replacing because Sony will have put into the system a lockout which occurs at the end of the expected life for this component.Īll those of you with Epson professional printers over five years old, who have managed to download a service manual, will know how this works. Surprise at our end about the RX100 update, since the camera has only been on the market a short while, and the internal batteries used to maintain the date (etc) usually have a seven to ten year life! From Sonyalpharumours (with the links all very neatly arranged, probably from Sony’s own sources) details of firmware updates for the RX10 and the RX100 MkIII.
