Is this related to switching the firmware on the Minitel 2?

I knew I shouldn't have done that: https://blog.jgc.org/2022/10/adding-mode-switch-to-my-minite...
I'd like to read an article about how the firmware caused the outage. It wouldn't be true, but it'd be a fun read.
10 years ago we bought every Minitel in existence from eBay and connected them into a giant X.25 network spanning the globe. Unfortunately, one EPROM didn't have a cover over its window and bright sunlight in Madrid caused firmware corruption.

What a tease. If only.
