Here you go. Try the attached Upgrade programme.

Just connect it up and enter the abs file that in the file uploaded. Tick include bootloader.

Box powered off
Start the loader
switch box on

May need a few attempts.

If your using a laptop with a USB to Serial adaptor you need to select the correct port.

that file is just the loader
you will still need the proper firmware to load.
I don't think it works with usb adapters.
The batch file just made the proper eromclient.abs file
for a version that had support for different models.
That zip already has the proper file.
