I fear the worst for your board, I'm afraid.

You mentioned a screen shot. You can attach images to posts via the 'Go Advanced' tab on the forum, then click on the paper clip.

I've just restored my board using the procedure I sent you. For reference, it took about 25 seconds to complete.

You mentioned a lack of LEDs on your board now. What is it's current state? Does the 'POWER' LED still light? Any others?
