S100 firmware button NOT FOUND* NEED HELP**

Hi guys
I'm new here. I am writing this post because i have some trouble when trying to find and install the chdk. I can't seem to find the firmware update despite following the methods step by step and repeating them. i'm really desperate to use the extra functions from chdk but my S100 just seems to be different

Can someone help me pls?

? Nothing i do works.

On a side note, i could never use the "set" + "display" button to see my firmware version.

I meant the part where it says "The S100 CHDK DOES NOT currently support loading through firmware update method" and then gives you instructions on where to learn how to load CHDK on your camera.

That means you have not formatted your SD card to be bootable.

Are you carefully following these instructions ? http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Prepare_your_SD_card#For_cameras_released_after_2010_:
