HELP. I think I read and follow directions pretty well, but all I've succeeded in doing is bricking a third Linksys router. This on is a WRT54GS v1.1. I let is sit for over 5 minutes after it said the firmware update was complete, but the turd won't come back up. The power light blinks incessantly, no response to ping, no new wifi networks found. Anyone got any ideas on how to unbrick this turd?

just curious but did you try pinging it with power removed and then powering it up to see if you get a momentary response?
