Itunes Error 37 when restoring

Hello all.

I tried to restore and update my ipad and got error 37. After the error the ipad went blackscreen and now i cant revive it. The error is (according to itunes error-database) an error caused by 3rd party security stuff like antivirus firewall etc. I have no antivirus, nor firewall, and ive tried to restore on 4 different computers (mac - win7 - vista...)

Tinyumbrella detects the ipad, says it is in DFU mode, and i have tried to put it in pwnd DFU and do a custom firmware restore, but with no luck (error 37). Ive also tried to do a boot tethered with redsn0w, again with no luck (error: could not fetch....).

While restoring in itunes, it actually completes the process but quits at 99.99% and gives me the error, and going back to DFU mode.

PS: while restoring, the screen is black. (no apple loading logo)

Just spoke to Apple Care in the UK today.

They are pretty sure it is a hardware error.

Which i find kinda strange, because it was working perfectly until i tried to upgrade it to 5.1.1.

To me, it sound more like bad firmware.

Unfortunatly the warranty is gone, so now i have a VERY expensive door stopper :-(
