Ok, I know I'm being a dickhead, but I am missing something really obvious. I have searched the forums, but no one else was as big a dickhead as me, so it's not in there.
I installed the program onto my 8gb card (want to see it working before i partition card and have it autostart).
I can run the firmware update, and I get the CHDK welcome screen, then it returns to the "No image" screen and nothing further happens. My choices are hit the playback button again (turns the camera off), or hit the power button (turns the camera off).
On a side note, my firmware is 1.01a, but instead of coming up "no errors" mine says e18? I have never dropped or abused the camera, and as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with it. warranty runs out in a couple of months, but don't want to get charged for returning to Canon and being told there's nothing wrong with it.
Any suggestions, learned comrades?
