I'm not sure that any daring is required. Either the boot-up sequence can
recieve a re-program command, before it checks for electrical faults, or it
can't. In the first case it can be fixed by bypassing the mirror's fault
check subroutine, and in the second case it can't, making it dead, dead,
dead.
