Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) Firmware Fix
Description
This software addresses an issue on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) that prevents updating the Firmware on the NXT.

Note: Do not attempt to update the Firmware on the NXT from a computer running Mac OS 10.5 without installing this software first.

If your NXT is clicking when you insert batteries, push the hardware reset button for five seconds before you insert the USB cable. This will ensure that the brick initializes correctly for the firmware download. The hardware reset button is located within the LEGO TECHNIC hole below the USB connector on the NXT brick. If your NXT brick is not clicking when you insert batteries just go through the normal firmware download process as described within the manual when the patch is installed.
