Sorry this process is all very new to me and I'm suprised I've gotten to this stage with it.

It appears as though its just a empty space where I could place anything in it at this point.

OK well thats quite possible as I don't have the original firmaware and by original you mean the firmware that originally came with the unit.

If possible to get the original fw what do I use to flash it with and how?

Hope there is still a chance to bring it back to life.

Thanks again for taking the time to help a newbie with this.

Cheers

Jack
