Dead Blackberry 8310 - help

Hi

Trying to rescue my 8310.
Handset won't boot, either gets dead screen with blinking red LED - or a screen with a battery sign with a line through it.
Have replaced with a brand new battery - no joy.

Have attempted to reload the OS - gets the error 'unable to reconnect to device during a multi-stage operation'. As a result changed the USB power settings as suggested, shut down AV program, changed USB port, removed other UBS devices. Still no joy.

Attempted to wipe with Jl_Comder but it won't' connect. (unable to connect to port)

History - BB did get dropped three weeks ago - a week after it kept rebooting every time I'd try to use a function (e.g. write email, read email, etc.).

Any ideas or is it totally dead?

Thanks
