HxC firmware update problem

[beaker]

It is with a heavy heart that I might have to mark the passing of my HxC following a firmware upgrade to try and load Acorn Electron software. I followed the instructions, formatted a SanDisk 8GB card and put the UPD file on the root of the newly formatted card. Turned it on while holding the left and right button and it seemed to upgrade. It couldn't find the configuration file so I turned it off and put one of the cards I've been using in there. Turned it back on and got the following:

Here's a montage of the times we've spent together on other machines including my CPC 6128 and CPC 6128+, here's to you bud 
Survived by your brother in the Atari ST which I am now too scared to upgrade.

Ohhhh crap... Have you asked Jeff if there might be something to do?

As far as I know, firmware update only works with up to 2gb SD cards. If you use a 2gb card you can probably flash the HxC correctly even now.

Send me the PIC (it's socketed) and I can manually re-flash it with whatever Firmware you need.

Thanks Bryce 

I think it's Jesus of machinery although whereas he took 3 days to be resurrected, whereas mine seemed to work this morning when I turned powered it on again (sort of)

It now seems to power on correctly and I can use it if I turn on the HxC prior to turning on the Acorn Electron.

If I turn the Acorn Electron then turn on the HxC I get the following on the HxC so I am not sure if it still has a problem?

Now to blow another €120+ at lotharek's lair for my Spectrum and Atari XE
