when I installed init.fs, I followed the instructions that came with it, chose dropbear, etc. it then attempted to reboot but apparently died in the process. it wouldn't turn on no matter how long I held the power button (no Dpad light or anything), and plugging it into the charger would not display the 'charging' icon on the screen. I know the ac adapter and battery were good because I charged the battery ahead of time before I started, and tested them later before I returned everything to the store.

in any event, since I couldn't turn it on, I couldn't reflash it. and yes I tried leaving it out overnight with and without the battery.
