Get a new phone.  :(
What he's saying -- and I agree with him -- is that, if you power-cycled 
the phone while the lights were flashing (which, if you read the docs, 
means it's checking TFTP for a firmware upgrade), and the phone actually 
started the upgrade... you could now have a piece of junk instead of a 
phone.  That's always been the problem with flash memory and the like -- 
if there aren't enough safeguards, it's all too easy to kill something 
during an upgrade.  ALWAYS makes me nervous, for example, to upgrade the 
flash on my system's BIOS.

Try a couple more power cycles, and maybe check the documentation for 
something I might be forgetting -- but it sounds like you have probably 
toasted the phone.

Sorry!
