AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I tried a firmware upgrade to OS2, but the load started normally, then hung half way through and slowly progressed, taking about a day to finish. The "Waiting for the Newton to reboot" dialog popped up, but the the Newton's screen continued to read, "File load". I let it run for two days and finally unplugged it and it now appears to be bricked. The screen is blank and the hard reset key combo does nothing.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thank you.
