Or it may be just firmware damage. Not saying it is, but could be.

Don't mess with the ROM. No need to flash anything.
Someone with the proper knowledge and tools needs to rule that possibility out.
The firmware check-up can't be done with conventional tools to my knowledge.

Flash with another ROM copy = destroy data.

Can you post the Identify Device information (model number, serial number, firmware version, capacity, etc)? A tool such as CrystalDiskInfo should be able to provide this info in text format.
