It sounds like the bootloader has become corrupted and needs to be repaired.
To carry out this kind of repair, using the Cas 3+, you need to remove the Dragon Cam casing and solder a couple of wires from the Cas 3+ to the Cams board.
There was a how to document on the duolabs web site, which I think included picctures.

All the information you require is in the Cas 3 userguide:
_http://www.duolabs.com/casstudio_userguide.html
Scroll down to pages 22-28 and you will see pictures of what you need to do.
If you don't feel confident in doing this then van hoof will repair it for you, at a reasonable cost, but it does take time, as you need to send the cam to Holland.
