Toasted 7100T during OS upgrade?!

I was trying to upgrade the OS on my Blackberry 7100T. BB was connected to computer via USB cable, running the Application loader. It was in the process of upgrading the software it had completed the backup application data steps and loading of the new software. It was stuck at "waiting for device initialization" and stayed on that screen for over an hour. During that period the screen on my BB was completely black despite rolling the trackwheel, etc.
I ended up giving up and disconnected the BB from the USB cable. Now after taking the battery out and putting it back in all I get is a black screen and a blinking red light(it blinks red twice, then pauses for about 5 secs, then repeats).
When I attempt to start up the desktop manager and connect my BB it cannot find the device on the USB connection.
Any help?! argh....

In the future, don't unplug I no matter how long it takes to come back on. Some of the software updates can take a very long time for the device to reboot. You definitely do not have an operating system on your device at this point, and the fact that desktop manager doesn't recognize the device isn't good at all either. Do a search for "Javaloader" both here and at blackberryforums.com to see if that can help you at all....if not, hopefully you have insurance on the device....good luck....

PM with your email and I can send you a batch file that will wipe your device.
The you need to load desktop manager, select USB as the connection type, go into app loader, step through the first couple of prompts until it takes you to the application loader screen.
Select all of the application components you need (other than some of the language packs) then install the apps.
You should be fine then.
