I think you must have missed the part where I mentioned that I can't run the firmware update because it keeps telling me "No Picasso IV detected!"
Yeah, sorry my mistake.
You can try Zipper's solution. If that fails also,
I'm afraid you need a new ROM-chip. As Tahoe wrote, try
to contact Tobias Seiler, aka Mastatabs. He's a former
villagetronic engineer, maybe he can help you out.
