Having eventually got onto the site late last night, early morning and downloaded the files tried the update.
Done the update and everything seems ok just now, not tried for long was around 2am by this time.
Holding v+, inserting usb cable and pressing reset not the easiest, but having it with port ends up and holding v+ then putting usb cable in then pressing reset(on-off / sleep mode button once seemed to work just fine) instead of paper clip in reset button hole on back.
Will try for a bit more tonight.
