Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A little info (ME7.5 ECU)- today I drove home from work and wanted to copy my Original bin to my PC so I have a backup and base to start from.  All went well.  Copy saved and now in a file on my desktop and at work.  I wanted to make sure I had the process down with my standard files before contemplating moving on.

The issue arose when I tried to flash the Original file back to the car.  Whats happened is down to me not noticing the laptop charger lead had become detached from the laptop meaning the computer died when carrying out the required flash.  So needless to say the ECU is now not working!

I have tried to reflash a couple of times but the MPPS software tells me to contact them and email the issue over.  The car would not start and I'm a little worried.

What I have done is remove the ECU and make a bench setup (I'm and electronics and electrical engineer in a hospital).  SO power supply is set up and MPPS reads the power from the supply well.  Ive checked the ECU is receiving power and it is connected up as per this site images.  What happens is I try to write over boot mode after groundin the pin out and it does not work.  AM I going obviuosly wrong?  Pin 24 is grounded and power to the ecu is off then on in sequence as per site instructions.  But still no good.

I'm meant to be driving to France on Monday which is about 50 hours away so really need to get the car back up and running.  If anyone could help I'd be eternally grateful.
