Aufero Laser 1 Firmware
Your Aufero Laser 1 rmware is the operating system that resides inside the
motherboard and controls all operations of the machine as well as the interactions
between the motherboard and the host computer.
In some circumstances, a rmware update is required to improve the Aufero
Laser 1 performance or x discovered issues. In some less common situations, a
rmware upgrade might be required to clear issues caused by user error. Please
read the instructions below carefully.
When NOT to upgrade or reinstall the rmware
• Not yet contacted support at https://ortur.tech/support to resolve an issue
• Aufero Laser 1 is working correctly and showing no problems
When TO upgrade the rmware
• Advised to do so by Ortur or Ortur Customer Support
• A new version of the rmware is posted at https://ortur.tech/latest-rmware
advising a rmware update to x a discovered problem or enhancing Aufero
Laser 1 functionality
Requirements to upgrade the rmware safely
• This guide covers updating procedure on Microsoft Windows, MacOs and
Linux. (This procedure was already validated in Windows 11)
• Direct Connection from the Aufero Laser 1 to your computer USB port. Note:
Some users reporting the use of USB Hubs may cause problems.
• Have access to software that allows decompressing a .zip le. (Note:
Windows, MacOs and Linux will natively perform this operation. However 3rd
party extractors are also usable)
• Disable temporally any 3rd party Antivirus Software. Although normally not
required it is still a recommendation.

Basic Troubleshooting
Firmware Write Fail
In some operating systems, specially Windows, security software as Anti-virus or
AntiMalware can prevent the complete copy of the BIN rmware le to your Aufero
Laser 1 motherboard, causing the machine to become unresponsive. These events
are rare but can happen, specially on Pre Windows 8 Operating systems.
Solution:
1. Please temporarelly disable the security software and attempt rmware
upgrade procedures a second time;
2. Use a di󰀨erent computer. Many users that experience the above issue reported
that simply using a di󰀨erent computer allowed for the rmware update process
to nalize without problems.
3. If neither solution above was successful, please get in touch via our Ticketing
system at https://ortur.tech/support. Ortur Support team will most likely suggest
a remote session to your computer to allow an untouched le transfer to your
Aufero Laser 1 motherboard.
Wrong Firmware le
Your Aufero Laser 1 is expecting a particularly type of le when you try a rmware
update. If the motherboard identies a wrong le format or type it will automatically
reject this le and turn o󰀨. This will result in the following errors:
Windows: “Error 0x800701B1: A Device which does not exist was Specied”
Mac: “The operation can’t be complete because an unexpected error occurred (error 100006)
Linux: “Error While Copying. Error When getting information from le. No such le or directory”
Solution: Please verify that the rmware le is the correct series for your Aufero
Laser 1. Only 1.8x series rmware les are accepted.
There are a few rare circunstances on which applying a new rmware to your
Aufero Laser 1 might lead to some problems. Below we will list a few of these
known issues and how to best address them:
