[Q] Need Original Firmware For Toshiba Excite 10 (AT300)

I have an Excite 10 (AT300) that gets stuck in the boot process on the "fireworks" screen...

I am thinking that re-installing the firmware will fix the problem..

I downloaded an 8mg update, but when I try to install it, it says VERIFICATION FAILED.. So I am thinking that I need the original firmware, instead of just an update..

Does anyone know where I can find such a critter??

I DID find a thread that had an update package that was considerably larger than the first one I tried..

163022_14.28.56.TC10213200A.zip

I put that on the SD card and then tried to install it thru the recovery process..

The verification passed, but then I got this error:



This seems to indicate to me that the verification is good on that file, but something happens in the update process...

I have tried about 5 different files from the http://bds.updates.toshiba.com/Downloads/Production/tais/2012/ location and all give me the same ASSET FAILED error..

This leads me to believe that something is REALLY hosed with this AT300..

I have done a complete data wipe/reset...

At a loss as to how to proceed?? I don't want to write this tablet off if there is a chance of bringing it back to life..

Any hints, tips or advice would be most appreciated..
