Trying to upgrade the firmware it stopped and failed half way in. Now the screen doesn't show anything furthermore EasyPrint does not detect the printer so I cannot use the firmware Upgrador to fix it. Trying to use Arduino Ide to upload a firmware gives me this error:

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
How can I fix it and get my printer back to factory settings?

Did you happen to remove the sd card by chance? If not remove the sd card and then boot it up.
