    Very pleased. The logo seems to be fine. However I'm fairly unhappy with seeing their logo due to their responses to me as a customer in a time of need. :p Maybe that's something I can resolve in the future.

    Again, thank-you for your prompt reply. Really appreciate the help! I've created the backups of the flash contents. Good shout, and thanks for the commands. Comparing the kernel file you've linked with the kernel extracted from the flash, it would appear the failed flash appeared during the...
