Fixing a Bricked Scroll

Apologies for the large gap in posts - I managed to brick my scroll a while a go and its been sitting on a shelf. After browsing the forums I assumed it was completely dead however I found that still managed to allow me to reflash new firmwares - however none of these worked.

Most people seem to have given up at this point however I have serial access so am currently in the process of finding out what has gone wrong. Connecting up the serial port and then capturing the serial output it seems to be something todo with the i2c library.

I've also noticed that the kernel version I'm currently have flashed is older then the one i had previously which might relate to why we are not able to boot. Will add more when I know exactly what is going on.
