Just a quick update, I seem to now have the right firmware as when I installed it, and the player restarted, I didn't get the usual 'drive G' pop-up, but it asked me if I wanted to play the files on my player. Following other instructions, I formatted the drive before putting a dump on and now, whenever I plug the player in, I get the 'Drive G' window pop up with nothing on it. I have used s1res to check the dumps and the ones I am trying to install all look EXACTLY like the one I had before I screwed up but I'm still getting the blue/black screen. I can now turn off the player by holding the play button and this will also disconnect the player when connected to the PC. Can anyone shed some light on what it is I'm doing wrong?
