You could also try this, load your complete original US fw to updater.exe and leave it open and visible on your desktop with the radio button selected next to 'USB Device'. Plug a usb lead into a rear port on your PC [but not to unit yet]. Hold the upper left corner of the screen firmly and hold down the power button then connecting the usb to the unit. Hold power button for at least 30 seconds or as long as possible, if unit powers on release power button and press 'OK' on updater.exe immediately after you see your unit's detail appear in the window adjacent to 'USB Device' while continuing to hold the screen until update process finishes.

If that doesn't work you could try opening the unit to disconnect the battery for a while before trying again to flash original US fw.

I tried to re-flash original FW follow your method by
1. Prepare original FW by drag to updater.exe then select USB Device
2. Hold the upper left corner of the screen firmly and Hold power button for at least 30 seconds or as long as possible, Result==> can't turn on unit(also USB can't detect USB device)
3. Open unit and disconnect Battery(wait 3-10min) then try again follow item no#2, Result ==> can't turn on unit(also USB can't detect USB device)
4. Tried no#1-3 again result still can't turn on unit.
Could you suggest me again for next action for repair it? (i have the knowledge about electronic circuit)
