Hi Jade..Thanks for that rapid reply. I tried disconnecting the internet connection and tried flashing by pressing the "u" button ..but all i see is - the orange led is glowing continuously (not blinking) and after some time the logo "NOKIA" (without any light) shown on the screen and then vibrates and then repeating to show this logo.. and then the orange ledAny other clue?
Adding to the above, I'm using Windows XP 2000 professional Version 2002 SP3

The phone loads part of the os to get it to properly charge.
if it cant it will just 'trickle' charge the battery (solid orange light) just leave for a few hours and then try to flash again using jade's method.

when plugged into wall charger your giving it more power so it can charge and boot up. but with usb the phone knows it gona struggle to do both so just charges.eventually your get enough charge in the battery and it'll try to boot on usb too.
just leave it on wall charger if you want to be reflashing it a bit sooner.
