Print Button lights (blue) all the time, I can't do anything, the screen stays black

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- I followed the Manual exactly.
- I used Windows 7 64bit Prof.
- I tried the tools EOScard and cardtricks (also with "start as Administrator")
- I tried it with an 32GB SD & CF Card Adapter and also with an original 2GB CF 
Card (same steps every time, I formated the card to start fresh before I tried 
another tool, etc.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Print button should flash blue shortly and the Menu should be displayed. 
Instead of that, the blue led is on all the time and the display is black. The 
only thing I can do is let the flash pop out. I can't do anything to change 
that - just remove battery. 

What version of the product are you using?
400plus-testfir-1.bin + 400plus-20120415-17.bin

Please provide any additional information below.
I have to remove the battery to turn the camera off. The green light stays on, 
even if i manually switch it OFF. When I am using a fresh (formatted) card, it 
works (thanksfully) normally again, but off course without the 400plus features.
When I put in a prepared Card the Print Button starts to light blue, even if 
the camera is not switched on. I THINK the card was correctly made bootable, 
because after formating I do not have this effect - it just works normal than.

Please help, I want to use it in my holiday! :) Thanks!

At first it looked like a corrupted file; I just downloaded the same file from 
the server, and it works in my camera. Card seems to be OK: that blue light 
usually means that the camera has found, loaded, and executed 400plus.

I would suggest to check again that the camera has the proper original firmware 
installed (version 1.1.1), and then download and copy the AUTOEXEC.BIN file 
again from the server.

Thanks for your effort.
I am pretty shure I had the latest update (1.1.1) before. After 
installing the Hack-activation firmware  I have now 1.1.0.
I will give it a try when I am back home!

IT WORKED!

First I downloaded the Firmare version 1.1.1 and updated. Than I formated the 
CF Card, started EOScard (as admin) and finally clicked at "Remove Hardware" 
(Win Taskbar) before removing the CF Card.

Seems like I had an old version of the Hack-activation firmware (from another 
mirror?). Now i also have v.1.1.1! You could add a version number there as well 
- The v.1.1.0 has the name name as the v.1.1.1 (400plus-testfir-1.bin.zip). 

Thanks again for your time!

Just to update the info.
The testfir is not a real update, so it cannot change your FW version.
Only the real 1.1.0 update can revert you back to version 1.1.0, nothing 
else... Our files are not real FW updates. It is impossible to get back to 
1.1.0 with our files.

Think again what version you had before trying 400Plus.
Actually I'm surprised that the testfir did it job on 1.1.0 FW. Though this 
means that the 1.1.1 update is not touching the bootloader itself, which is 
good to know.

Anyway, you have it running now ;)

I am pretty shure that I had the original 1.1.1 Canon Firmware and I think that 
I downloaded an old version of testfir from another website. So I actually 
downgraded. :D

Yep! Never stop a running System! ;)
