Albireo, you might be able to get some info from Oppo's customer service about your unit. If you have the serial number, you can use the service email address on the Oppo web site and they can tell you if it's come back to them and if it's been repaired.

Could you describe what happened regarding firmware? Some here have upgraded the firmware without problems. I'm reluctant to try it given your experience.

Hope Gary does deliver a working model to you and refunds your extra shipping costs as well. Good luck from JimK
