HELP! Killed wl-500g by flashing old firmware

[nicd]

Hi,

I think I killed my 500g but am not sure it it is totally dead! Help would be much appreciated.

I flashed the firmware from 1.8.2.4 to 1.6.5.3 in an attempt to stop the constant packet loss but the update program seemed to die, and when i unplugged then plugged in the router the PWR light flashes on/off every 1.5 seconds or so. I can't connect via the LAN port when it it plugged directly into my computer's ethernet port and it cant be found over the wireless. Is I dead? or is there anyway I can restore any firmware? Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I don't know anything about telnet sooo.... please bare with me I'm a but new to this.

Thanks for your help
