I Think I Broke My Gps 315

I was updating the firmware on my GPS 315 a couple of months ago and after an hour or so of updating, I stopped the process and now the unit won't turn on. Is there something I can do (other than throwing it away)? Is there a way to get a copy of the firmware that I can upload to my unit?
