asterisk users - May 2005 - Grandstream GSX-2000 - dead :-(

I have a Grandstream GSX-2000 with ..
Software Version:    Program-- 1.0.0.3    Bootloader-- 1.0.0.3

I tried to do an HTTP update from the Grand Stream web site...

After half an hour, I recycled power and now its dead... LED's come on
and stay on, screen and buttons are dead. Connectivity to
Grandstream.com was always good - whenever I checked (I downloaded the
"User Manual" in a couple of minutes), the site states five minutes to
load, so waiting more than 30 mins should have been OK, and they do have
this "Please Powercycle" in red print too...

Is there a magic re-incarnation routine ?
(Power on whilst holding down some buttons?, Sprinkling chickens blood?)

I chose an HTTP upgrade over TFTP - as I read that there were potential
issues with TFTP at this firmware level.

I've got three GS 100 Phones with same problem.
Some lights.
Some no lights.
Some garbled display.

I would welcome suggestions for a resurrection.

You upgraded the firmware over the Internet? You are braver than I am. I 
would have used a local http server.

Have you tried the Grandstream support?

Tftpd upgrades work well for us on that particular phone.
