Hi all, At long, LONG last, finally got my unit back and working. I really wish they'd have stuck a note in there as to exactly what happened. Looks like they just reflashed it; the stuff I had in flash is gone (no issue, had it backed up). I wish there was a way I could reflash on my own should something like this ever happen again... Anyways, back in business, and glad to be as such. Flint On 10/17/06, Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Flint; > Sorry you are having so much trouble with your new unit.
