Hello.
You can try to restore the firmware.
Please follow this technote:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-1e9zXr5JIlNXRrZ2F0eUJJLU0/view?usp=sharing
It may fail several times before to succeed, but if you keep trying, it should work at the end.
Best Regards

The file included in the download is only 1 byte it cannot possibly be correct. When you view the code in Midi OX all you see is FD. This is wrong by my research as sysex files start with F0 and have a considerable amount of code following and then ending with F7. Please send the correct file.

Hi !
Actually this is the correct file, it just says to the spark, boot in DFU.
But you have to do that very fast, like in less than 5 seconds, or it will fail.
Most of the people intent more than 20 times to succeed, and so do I.
I just checked in our industrial files, where the sysex file is originally stored, and it is the same.
You need to try again :-\
Keep me informed if you succeed.
Best Regards
Edouard
