Now that you mention it i see that my C3750 reports the same. Google returned the following page https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=PF_CCJ70020 Which is 2.0, and only mentions "C3650/C3700/C3750/J6700/J6750 firmware" So maybe these machines have NP set, and machines "below" (like C3600) don't have it set. I wonder what happens if you try to flash a 5.0 firmware to such a box. BTW, i figured out that register 0xf05f1038 bit 0 seems to be the FLASH write enable. So it's basically just a matter of writing some code to send correct commands to the flash chip, and being crazy enough to actually erase and reprogram the flash. I'm not sure whether that would actually be of help if we know that the NP bit goes away with a 5.0 firmware on a C3750. Regards Sven
