Solved Taranis QX7 stuck on openTX screen.

So, I hadn't turned my QX7 on in a while since I had been busy with exams over the past few months, but today when I turned it on again, I found that it was stuck on the loading screen. I have looked around on the internet, and found that this does seem to be a recurring problem, however all bar one of the solutions, mention the use of an SD card, which my transmitter does not have.(yes, I know they ship without an SD card, and yes, it worked perfectly well before, and I'd connected it to my receivers.)
The only solution that I found which doesn't involve the SD card suggested removing the "Watch battery" turning it on, and off again, reinserting it and trying to turn it on again. Obviously, that didn't work, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this forum post. The transmitter is a little less than a year old, I believe I bought it in November last year.
Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try and do to fix the problem?

As an update, I managed to fix the issue. Incase anyone has the same issue, the only solution that I found which worked, was to re-flash OpenTX. Lots of guides will also say that you should use an SD card, but I managed by connecting my transmitter via USB to my computer.
