Yes, it's possible for a firmware upgrade to cause the player to
become a streamlined brick, so we do test up/downgrading to make sure
that we haven't created a killer firmware image.
The problem with the firmware that was checked in for a couple of
hours was causing some player settings to get corrupted, but as far
as I know, wouldn't have bricked the player. It seems to be fine now.
Bricked players due to faulty firmware would need to come back to our
World Headquarters to be reprogrammed (free of charge, of course), or
have the CPU cards swapped, but it hasn't happened yet...
