USB coonection works well.

I'm afraid the firmware update screwed up my remote control...
I simply can't use my remote. It hangs during the boot process.

i need to reinstall the firmware (don't care which version)

The problem however is that the firmware update process requires to push a button on the LCD screen in order for the upload process to move from step 1 to step 2...since my remote does not function I find myself in a deadlock situation

Is there a way to 'force' the firmware upload tool on the pc to move from step 1 to step2?
