Unihiker K10 not booting and black screen

I have just unboxed my Unihiker K10 and ran a few of the example sketches from the Arduino, all was good. I loaded the next sketch and the LCD screen froze. I have tried many suggestions to reload the esp23 image, using Mind+ V1X now on Mind+ V2xxxx, flash tool, etc…., things have regressed now to just a black screen and a steady red led near the USB connector. I can hear/feel a few clicks when I press the reset button. The suggestions online usually end up being unable to follow as the screen and options don't line up with the instructions. Getting a bit frustrated now. Flashing Fire Beetles and pi micros are easy enough, but this has me stumped.

Hopefully there is an easy enough solution, looking forward to finding it.
