+## Problem
+
+DSONano v2 with DFU loader v3.26 does not work with the firmware used by
+the other v2 models. The drivers for the LCD display changed so flashing
+the "normal" thirdparty firmware causes an all white screen to persist
+on the screen. In some cases it flickers as well.
+
+## Sollution
+
+1.  use the patched firmware provided
+    [here](http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4823&sid=3e537c759d444eb3ae50c74adf5fc1eb&start=40)
+    and mirrored
+    [here](Media:BenF_P2-3.64APP_3.53LIB_LCD_patched_v2.hex "wikilink")
+
+### flashing
+
+1.  plug the dsonano in via usb
+2.  press the down arrow and power on the device
+3.  mount the block device (/dev/sdX, no number)
+4.  copy the .hex file to the mount point
+5.  wait for it to dissappear
+6.  unmount the mount point
+7.  mount the new block device
+8.  check to see that the extension on the file now reads .RDY (limited
+    file name length truncates the rest of the name sometimes)
+9.  powercycle to check if it worked
+10. repeat until it works
