  <p>I am using a Bluetooth connection trying to update firmware from 1.05 to 1.31 and it displays the message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Cannot locate NXT device to download firmware!</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My NXT works fine other than that. I got it from a thrift store will so I don't know much about its history and I don't have a USB connector. I don't know what to do.  What should I try next?</p>
