Firmware upgrade bricked my Pico

[robrrt]

Well... at least I thought it did
Even with another fully charged battery, I couldn't get it to power up.
Did a long press of the Fire & Minus buttons and that did the trick.

Which now begs the question, how to check the firmware version?

I never update my firmware unless.

b. The firmware will give me something i REALLY REALLY need.

I think it's a whole bunch of firebutton pushes (like 20+) Mine's not handy, so I can't confirm.... Did you try re-installing the previous firmware version?

ETA - just noticed you're back in business.... ignore my last question

Yep, that's it. 20 Fire button clicks when the unit is off.

Still at v1.0 (upgrade was v1.1)

You can downgrade back to 1.0 if you don't like the update. They provide the 1.0 file.

Bricked means permanently busted. If it starts then it's not bricked.

if its not bricked... then it must be mortered
