Do not panic! 2.4.5.0 takes a long time to load and uses a measurable amount of battery charge

Pulling this topic up to a headline.

 

I performed the M10 2.4.5.0 upgrade last night.  It was the longest of any firmware upgrades I have performed, easily 10 minutes.  I also started with a 100% battery and it used a full 10%, so be sure to start with a fully-charged battery.

 

Off to play with the new firmware today.

Yes, but this is the second time that the upgrade did not go painless.  After the screen told me "update successful - will restart now" all went dark and M10 dead.  Switching on/off no effect.  Until I finally took battery out and put it in again. I think I put the battery in the M10 with switch in off position (not sure) and M10 told me that there was no valid firmware, to insert a card with valid firmware (it still was in the M10) and it proceeded then to install the new firmware (all without manual intervention).  But I got the whole chain again (successful but no valid firmware as result).  Only the 3rd attempt was finally really successful.

 

A previous upgrade had similar difficulties.  Anybody else?

I didn't experience any complications with the update but I was also using a fast SD card that was freshly formatted. I did use a freshly charged battery as well but that's just a habitual trait I've established over years of using digital cameras.
