Based on the firmware version you mentioned, your C410 is most likely the V1 hardware version. The issue covered in that article is specifically for V2 devices, and does not affect V1.
If you are experiencing similar symptoms, it’s most likely a different problem. I recommend starting a new discussion thread and providing detailed information about your issue.
