Did you try it with the card you had in it before you put the new one in it? (Or maybe you changed it because you were having problems with the other one, but your message says that the camera was working.)
I can’t really understand what you are saying. Punctuation would help. Were you able to update the firmware manually, or did this happen while you were trying to update the firmware manually (it started but then failed), of did this happen when you turned the camera to setup in order to try to update the firmware?
What kind of batteries are you using and is there any chance that they might be bad? Could you try four new alkalines (two top, two bottom, preferably on the left side of the battery compartment)?
