My 8800 bit the dirt tonight (the dreaded flashing red light of death) I was updating the OS on my sons PC and he came running around the corner and pulled the USB cord out of the PC.... Flash, flash, flash.....

Tried Jl_Cmder to no avail.. It just did not want to connect and wipe... Ready to toss it in the trash I find a nifty little post from acnst....

Ya baby my 8800 is back to life!

Moral of the story.... if Jl_Cmder will not connect to wipe then try this
