Have you tried switching the device to R&D-mode with the flasher tool? It workarounds some powerup problems in the old image (fixed in new image). That might allow you to recharge and reflash the device. Be sure to disable R&D-mode afterwards! If that doesn't help, there's not much you can do I'm afraid. -Ismo > >Is it time to send it to Nokia? > >I wonder what the hardware failure rate on these things is? > >-- >Willie, ONWARD!
