Initial FW says 2016:

I don't know what point you're trying to make. Whether the product is 3 years or 10 years old the fact remains they broke it with a firmware update, didn't let the people who own the bloody thing know and just left it like that. The fix I posted will help those people. Your replies won't, they're not helpful in the slightest.
