I tried the 4-5-6 with no luck, but I'm not going to try a service reset. Didn't you ever read the warning in the appendix of the manual that explicitly says not to do a service reset unless under hw staff supervision?

Ok, try a 456 reset, and then a service, and what you do is incert the usb cable just before the bn kicks back into life. Cheers, Blake. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicole B.
