reflashing DP1s firmware

I am having problems with my DP1s. It is behaving erratic, sometimes hangs completely, then switches itself off after about two minutes (barrel retracting), sometimes switches on OK but no display. When it DID display anything it won't focus at all (auto or manual). At present it is inoperable. Will switch on, barrel extrudes but nothing on display except the settings that are shown over the black 'picture'. If I 'take' a shot, it just saves a blank picture.

I can't see what is wrong so wondered if I ought reload the latest firmware again (2.0). I did this upgrade awhile ago and it was OK at first but I now notice in the Sigma downloads there are TWO firmware files which both haveto be 'flashed' in the correct order. I only remember doing one.

But trying to reflash the firmware does'nt seem to be possible. It just shows the current firmware in the camera (2.0) and the 'upgrade' option is grayed out. Inserting a SD card with the firmware on won't do anything either.

Is there a way to 'force' a new upload of the firmware?

Cheers.

Barry
