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. See zip extraction instructions in the FAQ.

  3. Turn on your LabQuest and connect it to AC Power. Connect the USB drive or SD card to your LabQuest. Identification of the USB drive or SD card can take several seconds.

    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.
