Well it didn't exactly turn out the way I hoped it would because this is what I got after following their instructions.

Oh snap !!! That looks more like a connection issue than a firmware one.
I was able to get mine fixed flawlessly by following the instructions they emailed me.
I guess you're back to square one.
Mail it back to US (takes for ever to get it back and i don't think is worth it) or get a new one ?
I know i pressed it, pushed it, applied pressure on it (while not working) hoping that it will start.
Did you try that "method" too ? :)
Heh. I have tried everything. I think the company that I bought it from will replace it, but I am not sure. Stupid thing...
