You should try and load the factory BIN using brute force - i.e. you get read and turn on receiver and write click simultaneously.
Do it with the current BIN first and if not successful try with factory BIN.

Use the "brute force method" He might have to d it several times.
With receiver off, get ready with the BIN and ready to click "Write" using right hand on mouse.
Click and immediately turn on the receiver. Or Turn on receiver and immediately click on the mouse. The idea is to get to the RS232 port before the software in flash kicks in.
In bad cases, do this with factory BIN. Then install latest and restore settings and rescan.
Reports indicate that this method always works if there is power/light showing.
