Word of warning for new Passion+ owners

For any other new Passion+ owners, do not make the same mistake as me. Only install the official Passion+ firmware update DO NOT install the regular Passion updates, if you do it will disable your USB ports and make it impossible to re-flash the firmware. I now need to have a conversation with Fortec Star on Monday morning to see if they can help.

Did you manage to re-flash with the right Passion+ firmware?

You ever get this sorted I've managed to do the same thing and can't find any utilities for RS232 flashing.
