Did you take the battery out first ?? If not take it out and reconnect to computer and try again.

i did take out the battery. it seems to not be installing the driver but i had the firewall off. windows finds unrecognized usb device so it is connected. not iin device manager and no exclamation point. answer might be to manually install driver but that is not a good idea and i shouldn't have to. i imagine this worked fine for some folks.

This is all I could find for you.

no go. I can install the driver manually but I have to override digital signature. too big of a deal. until someone figures something out it is stuck at 60 watts here. oh well.

Obviously you want the upgrade so i will direct this to others people . If you have a device that allows wattage upgrades think long and hard before doing it because i am reading more and more just about everyday that many have totally messed up their device while trying to do this .

Unless you have interest in vaping higher wattages and your device is not getting it done wattage wise i say leave it alone.

Just my opinion of course

strange. not recognized in less in usb 3.0 port. than windows shuts down driver. according to windows their driver is not a proper driver model. luckily I can do this stuff so I will figure it out at my leisure. or just get god 180.

I upgraded the firmware on mine, and wrote a small guide here if it's any help.

I don't have an ivp2's but did have a Cloupor T5 that had the same problem.

On my T5 the battery had to be removed for any firmware upgrade.

This same thing happened to me with my Cloupor T5 when they had the firmware upgrade on Sept 16, I just kept on trying with battery in and out and final was able to get it going again with the old firmware it lasted a month or more and gave out.


I'll never again do any firmware updates on any device just opens the door for possible problems.
