I don't mind having to restore it, none of the data that could be on it would be anything i'd care to save, it's been a year!

I looked into that article and tried to restore it using flasher 3.5 on my winxp machine tonight. Am I missing something huge here? because it didn't flash at all. It says to press "u" on my device keyboard. WHAT KEYBOARD? the nokia n800 didn't have a pop out keyboard, and all i have is that stupid lock code screen.

I am so lost!
