see this thread about the firmware bricking problems. IF you know what you are doing in Linux, and know your way around, you CAN fix the problem. Also, I ALWAYS check the boards about the latest updates, BEFORE installing. Okay. NOW I do, i did not when i installed the 2T MBL, now i have just installed a 3T back-up and now i do, LOL…
It is relativly easy, just time consuming, is all.
Good Luck.
