How to Install LabQuest Updates

This is a major update to your LabQuest and may take approximately 12 minutes to complete. During the update, if your LabQuest stops responding, wait a full 12 minutes (especially if the LabQuest has a white screen), then reset your LabQuest.

Step 1: Update LabQuest® Firmware

Updating your LabQuest is a simple process of downloading the update to a USB drive or SD card, plugging the USB drive or SD card in LabQuest, and running the update on LabQuest.

Step 2: Apply the update

  2. Extract the contents of the zip file to a USB drive or SD card.

    Note that this is a major update to your LabQuest and may take approximately 12 minutes to complete. During the update, if your LabQuest stops responding, wait a full 12 minutes (especially if the LabQuest has a white screen), then reset your LabQuest.
