I hope iRex will be of more help—it kind of sounds like you're hosed... sorry.

PS
Have you tried formatting the card with the DR?

I don't know how to even try a firmware upgrade or degrade without the sdcard . .

Yes thats true , they are going to charge me for my OWN property repaird, worst if the custom office needs to understand what it is in the first place. Apparently anything with a battery goes through a very through inspection. I am trying to get information from the customs here , very very tough !.

Irex is being very helpful with the whole scenario , in the first place they agreed to take the device under warranty repair when it's more than a year old (early adapter) . I can also pay them $ 75 in which they can arrange for a pick up which I think would be a better option because if i have to send it myself , these chinese Gods will charge me $150 to test the device if it's 'safe' for air transport.

So i have asked Irex , when they arrange for transport , is any testing required !

Aaargh ...

PS - worst thing is there are no bloody books here to read in the first place. Everythings mandarin mate ! Not even one single magazine anywhere
