Don't suppose anyone might know how to fix the onboard flash on a PC8024F? When I go into the hidden maintenance menu and get it to format the flash, it gets to the end and then fails, then retries, fails and reboots. I've done a post on how to do fixes on the PC62xx but the same fixes aren't working here. Can't get a firmware uploaded via TFTP or X-Modem, as the system has nowhere to run it. All I can access at this point is the bootloader. I know it runs VxWorks and there are some diag shells, but that's about as far as I can get so far.

Anyone out there know some tricks?
