After waiting for over an hour for the upgrade to complete using a USB key with the file, I had to remove the power from the player to get response back. It did fire back up but did not upgrade, I had to burn the file onto a DVD to get the upgrade to complete. Just a heads up if you have a problem with USB upgrades.

I'm glad you got your unit up and running and happy to have helped. I have the latest firmware and haven't had any problems aside from the occasional glitchiness while watching streaming netflix. That just requires a restart and only seems to happen intermittently, after watching more than one subsequent movie in a sitting. Jeff.. Gareth was just referring to my comment above, from 10/20/2009. Gareth.. I’m glad you got your unit up and running and happy to have helped.

Also, as I turned everything off, and unplugged everything, and waited a couple of minutes. I turned on my TV first (not using the samsung control) and set it to the HDMI I channel (to use the unit and see movies I have to use HDMI 2 channel). Then I powered the Samsung 1590 with the samsung control. At first it did say ON, the LOAD but once it looked for a disc and no disc inside, it went to the msg "No DISC", which gave me hope. It was no longer stuck on LOAD. Then on the TV screen, on HDMI 2, I had my invitation to Update to new firmware. It is taking its sweet time. Hope this helps others too.
