Duo v1 won't boot after relocation

I hope this is one problem and not two separate ones....

Just today I moved one of my Duo v1's from one house to another to more easily perform a full backup from one to the other. Stupidly, I didn't change the network settings on the one I moved back to DHCP, the other location has a different subnet (192.168.1.x) as opposed to this location (192.168.0.x).

Realising this, I set my Macbook to the address of the gateway at the other location (192.168.1.254) and tried to boot, but didn't get past the flashing blue power light (about 25 mins, Raidar sees it and says File System Check 100% but Setup not enabled) so I tried plan B. This time I plugged it into my router but did a firmware reload (reset button, one flash from the disk lights) hoping that would reset it to DHCP, but it seems to have made no difference. Raidar is still seeing it as 192.168.1.x and the blue light is still flashing.

So, do I have one problem, ie a networking problem, or do I have two, ie a network AND a boot problem? ....and what can I do about both? If i have to do a factory reset I will, but I would prefer not to if possible.

Suggestions/thoughts/comments most welcome!

Supplementary post.

After a second firmware reload it seems to be in DHCP mode as it is now trying to start with an address in the correct subnet. The flashing blue light problem persists, however.

I can access the device via SSH, if that is any help?
