@ Jeremy

He he , you seem as bad as me :-) , ie always wanting to try new
stuff, I doubt the Italian f/w will be any different really,as
looking at the file dates the Prestigio seem the newest f/w we can
find , but who's to know really,as there seems to be no way (at this
stage anyway) to display any version no of the f/w loaded..

The f/w that trashed your machine is the Welland one , which is made
in Tiawan by a totally different comapny to Keelai in china - This I
may as well remove the welland f/w as that way no one else will be
tempted :-)

sooner or later , we may get someone posting here that has real tech
knowledge of these items - the support people at Keelai just dont
seem interested , all they want todo is sell you 5000 units at a
time :-)



regards....
