Now with a imaged card it always goes to the setup screen, it shouldn't do this which makes me think that there's a hardware issue somewhere which won't let the unit read whats on the disk.

The unit was working fine with the latest version firmware and somehow I bricked it when I tried to install a earlier firmware, or perhaps just coincidence ?.
The image files I've seen have not been boot and go. That type of image would involve leaving personal information in the image which is fine for my backups but not for a file going to another person. The process I use to generate an image file involves a factory reset, registering, updating firmware, etc. and then signing out to replace the database with a blank database. This will require you to setup the reader with your information.
