Hi,
I'm also facing kinda similar situation.
After upgrading to 1.0.7, the station displayed messages about battery error and said something like it stopped charging. Battery level jumped from ~80% to 100%. From that point, it was impossible to plug anything into the front USB port, nothing connected / charged. The station was properly starting the application but was stuck in some issues regarding the battery.
I contacted support which indicated me this ongoing issue.
Since anyway everything was stuck, I tried to downgrade to 1.0.6 but unfortunately the device wasn't connecting anymore to the PC (so it was not really in a good shape). I hence went with the procedure to go into DFU mode. The device connected again and I performed the 1.0.6 downgrade. Now I'm experiencing the same issue than @blakethoennes : the firmware updates, the device resets and an error message is displayed saying the update didn't went well. And from this point, the device is stuck with a black screen, not connecting anymore, ... Going into DFU mode and trying a new upgrade is possible but it does not help at all, same things happens again.
Before returning the device for a replacement, I'm eager to wait for a 1.0.8 fw or new set of instructions to follow to un-brick. I feel like it would bring more value than simply replacing the device. @brett do you have any new estimate regarding when this might happen. I totally understand this is probably not an easy thing and can take more time than anticipated, but I would appreciate to be kept informed on the progress made.
Should it be impossible, would it be possible for the support to simply send a new motherboard and I will do the switch? As a repair fan, it would make much more sense than sending a heavy station with it's heavy battery and case back to the factory.
