Yup. Because they don't tell you in the files which to run and the order.

WRT54GS v.6 - s/n: CGN91F85....

I've got it back out of the trash. Built the JTAG adapter. Ran 2 different utilities. Looks like they rewrote the flash, took 8 minutes or so each time, but it still does nothing but flash the power light continuously.

??

you bricked it?
most are easy to recover.go fish it out of the bin.
worst case you reflash with jtag.i have gotten a few pre bricked where the caps were bad and an idiot tried to flash it while unstable.

i use a cheap pocketknife and a small hammer.
crack it at the seam.reasemble with ca and zip kicker.

I was able to successfully load DD-WRT on the E2000. v24-sp2. It's been a week so far and she is ROCK SOLID now! Looks like the original Cisco firmware was crap.

I am going to recap the E2000 when I get a chance.

Can anybody tell me how to get those power bricks open without marring the case?

I freeze them. Makes the glue very brittle. Then hit it with a small hammer. If that doesn't work...back in the freezer for awhile, then wrap it in a towel and stick it in a vice until the glue joint breaks... It's not quite as brute force as it sounds, I'm fairly gentle.

Putting them back together looking nice is another story, and one I haven't quite figured out yet.
