Wacky FS-100 problems, unwanted rollback to v2 during shoot

I was setting up for a studio shoot a couple days ago and when I plugged in the firestore it froze up in a way that it never has before, with a blue screen and no letters or symbols. I have never needed to take the battery out to restart the thing, so I just shut it off and it turned right back on.

I'm flipping thru the menu's and notice the alarm is back on ( I usually have it off) I reach setup screen and see that it has rolled back to v 2.0.0! Wow so I can no longer shoot in 24pN as the producers want. Shoot goes off fine, no other problems, I unload the footage, shut it off.

Turn it back on.....v 3.0.0 has decided to come back and say hello. I can record in pN again. This is the first problem I have had with the FS, and after all the jibba jabba about how unrealiable the thing is I'm happy this is the only problem I have ever had.

Anyone else had to deal with this?
Anyone know when 3.1 drops?
Media composer can handle 24p and 24pN in the same timeline right?
 
No media composer will require you to open the 24p footage in a 59.98 project and the 24pn in a 23.976 project. You can make quicktime reference files of the 24p stuff and then inport them into your 23.976 project.
