** SPEAKERS SOLD ON GUMTREE **
So eventually, after messaging Creative Support for about a day, I was finally able to get these speakers working again.
I was sent a Firmware Upgrade tool, that only Creative Support can provide, and it was able to repair the bodged firmware upgrade that had originally rendered the speakers bricked.
Once this occurred, I had a fully working set of Kratos S5 Speakers! That is, after I also replaced the broken components. They included a capacitor, potentiometer, switch and a stereo RCA jack mount.
Thankfully these are all generic components which fit the speaker motherboard perfectly.
I'm not sure I'm going to keep them, as I still prefer the cheaper Kratos S3 Speakers, so I'll most likely be placing them on eBay, this time as fully working, fully complete speakers instead of faulty ones!
