Hi Christopher, thanks for your help. I had visited the HP download site. The enhancements of 3.14 were a more reliable flash process - so I didn't install it at first. But to be on the safe side, I did now. After finishing the flash process, I could not observe any changes. Same behaviour as in the bug description. What makes me wonder is the fact, that it was working for a few days.
