    Trial and error I am afraid

    The site in my signature hosts all the firmwares (23 R4 - types!) try the likely candidated and see how you get on

    ok thanks, i guess its just a case of seeing what the sticker says, is there any damage cause to the R4's by using the wrong firmware or is it just simply a case of it won't load.

    That is the issue - if you have an original then the SD card can only be up to 2GB

    SDHC as they say can take the higher spec cards
