Hello again,
I've downloaded both the latest K-1 & K-1 ll firmwares and the bin for the K-1 is definitely named 'fwdc228b.bin'
whereas the K-1 ii firmware is named 'fwdc240b.bin'
I can see now that it's the K-1 ll that you are trying to update so that file you have is indeed the correct one (although misleading) and should update.
What version is your camera currently on, 230 or 240? If it's 230 there should not be an issue, if it's 240, try rolling back the firmware to 230 then update again with the latest 241 firmware file that you have just downloaded. Presuming you still have the 230 file saved from when you updated it!

I have tried on two different days to update the camera and nothing happens because when you open the downloaded file it shows that version 24-1.bin is actually version 24.bin. Anyone else gound this problem?
The file you downloaded should should have the name 'k1_v241' if not then you have the wrong file.I have tried on two different days to update the camera and nothing happens because when you open the downloaded file it shows that version 24-1.bin is actually version 24.bin.

Download the correct file which you then need to unzip. In the unzipped folder look for the bin file named 'fwdc228b.bin'
Copy this bin file to a cleanly formatted sd card to perform the firmware update.
My opinion however given the issues caused by the recent 240 update is that you wait several days before you update to ensure no one reports any further issues.

Clearly the support group has attracted some of the most prolific collectors, and some who may even part with some lesser used gear in the future We have to live by some rules I guess, so mine are as follows:
My first rule is if something is a bargain "Buy it!"
My second rule is if I haven't tried it before "Buy it!"
My third rule is if it's Silver "Buy it!"
My final rule (which I haven't stuck to 100%) is if I haven't used it for over a year the "Sell it!" - I can usually find another one somewhere if I miss it
Finally I'd like to thank all the members of the newly formed LLBA - LennyBlokes Lens Buyers Anonymous club

It is 240, not being a computer geek, haven't got a clue how to roll back to a previous software edition. Any tips please.
Do you still have that file in your downloads? If you do, run that 230 firmware update and you should get the option to go back from 240 to 230. Job done!
If however you don't have the 230 bin then you will need to acquire it from somewhere. If a download isn't available, then maybe some kind person on this forum who has this file might let you have a copy.
If I get chance this afternoon I'll do some research to see if I can find a download link for you.
