Here's my sob story:
Ordered a BMPCC months ago. Had it delivered in September 2013... but was traveling the whole time and never got my hands on it.
Finally get home after some horrible flight delays, sleeping in airports for 10 hours at a time etc etc. Airline lost my baggage with 80% my lenses, shoulder rig, and tripod inside.
Unwrap the BMPCC at 4AM. Download the latest 1.5.1 software and install. Reboot computer. Plug in the BMPCC to the outlet, USB to the computer. The camera is so new the plastic is still on it...
Start downloading the update:
"Software Update Failed. Please power cycle your device and try again."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tried removing the battery and powering up. Holding down power. Holding down power and REC for 10 seconds... etc etc etc. No button combinations seem to work. The camera is just bricked, won't turn on, not detected by the computer when plugged into USB.
Is there some way to do a hard reset of this camera - some magical button combo - that doesn't involve sending it cross-country to California? Is life still worth living?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
