ok, for some reason i'd always been under the impression that the battery needed to be out for download mode, so i've always done it with the battery out. this morning, i tried the wall charger trick (getting it into dl mode via the wall charger, then popping in the battery and plugging it into the computer) - still not recognized.
this one might actually be dead. sigh.
thanks for all the help, you two.
I doubt it's dead. How much were you planning to sell it for?
