NX5 Firmware Update Failed Horribly

Re: NX5 Firmware Update Failed Horribly

Ok so my camera is still not quite right. When I got the screen working again I was in an area of good light and everything looked fine. But since using the camera in lower light I notice I have a series of vertical lines all the way across the screen which are recorded onto photos or movies.

I don't believe this is a hardware issue with the lens or sensor. Looking at my firmware in the menu it is now showing version 01.21. Where on earth did I get that version from!? I know I downloaded several different files but now I can't even find that one again online.

Please can you help further?

I believe that if I can get it back to 01.20 my camera will be back to normal. But, now when I go into the developer menu and choose FW UPDATE it just freezes up and I have to switch the camera off.

I also can't update the firmware in the normal, non-developer menu, as it is not selectable (and never was, even before I foolishly started mucking around with it).

Any suggestions on what model my camera now thinks it is, or how I can force it to rollback to firmware 01.20?
