"What happens if you hold FUNC+PAGE when you power on ?
Does it go into the boot/flash screen, or just get stuck at the Firmware
check..."

That seems to work properly. It goes into the boot/flash screen, and it
still seems to be able to receive the firmware dumps...

I don't know if this means anything because I haven't used the P3tools
program before (having been on a Mac), but I tried it today. After
encountering the above symptoms sending the bootloader file using midiOX, I
tried uploading the file into the latest p3tools. But I get an error every
time. For instance, when I use the firmware upload it tells me that the
upload failed, and when I simply upload the .syx file it tells me that there
were 14 errors. Could I have sent corrupted data? I downloaded again from
the yahoo site, and still received the same errors. Or does this program not
handle the bootloader files at all, which might be the case.

"This could indicate either a problem with the CPU, or with something else
on
the mainboard.
I can ship you out a replacement CPU to check that. I've had a couple of T89
CPUs do strange things, but a hard re-programming fixes them up."
