My iPad 1 was behaving badly, so I tried to do a restore on it to hopefully fix the issues (it wouldn't turn on and it needed to be hard reset every few days).

The recovery failed and now it will only go into DFU mode. iTunes sees it needs recovery but the restore always fails in Preparing with a 1601 or 1602 error.

I've tries 2 Macs and a Windows 7 machine, all with the same result. I'm getting to the point where I think there may be a hardware problem. Anyone ever recover from this situation?
