Flashed wrong module! HELP!

Hello all,
I've recently received a Visor Deluxe from my sister and set out buying Springboard expansion items. I have a Magellan GPS Comp. module that I DLed a flash upgrade for. Well, I left my InnoPak/2V in the Springboard port, and flashed it with the GPS upgrade! Everytime I place the InnoPak in the Visor, it thinks is a GPS, and vibrates while I get a fatal error. I had some programs on the module, but all of them are also backed up on my computer, but I need to know if it's possible to reflash the InnoPak module (and how), or if I just destroyed a 2 week old module?
Thanks

Wow! I fixed it, details in post...

Well, here's the fix I used:
I thought it was a gonner, but I went to Innogear's website and they had an Updater for the InnoPak/2V module (in the Support section), so I figured I'd try anything right about now!
I DLed the Updater, and HotSync'd it into the Visor. Now the problem was that I had to plug in the module without the Visor thinking it was a Magellan GPS. I hit the HOME button as soon as the Magellan splash screen came up, and it went to the Launcher screen, the module was still screamin' (vibrating) it's protest at being messed with so carelessly! I brought up the Updater icon in the Unfiled catagory, and clicked on the Update button on the screen WHILE holding down the Down Scroll button (forces the Update, from Innogear's own forum). Halfway through the flash upgrade, the thing stopped complaining and was still.
I just went along with the reboot and everything is working as it should, I'll be a little more carefull next time I mess with any flash ROM updates!
Now, to reinstall the Apps I lost off the module...

Hi,
Don't feel too bad. I did the same thing once with a 16mb memory card. I had to send the module back to the company to get it reflashed. They wouldn't send me the updater.
