Hi,

My reader locked after updating firmware with Flasher and it was hanging on starting up screen. I've tried everything (btw. thanx for great info) but nothing helped. After half hour trying I was able to get it to Updating firmware screen (using 10 reset technique) but updater couldn't get my Reader connected.

And here's a trick that saved my life - YOU MUST USE ORIGINAL SONY DRIVER WITH UPDATER

Hope it helps someone
