They do not have an 'undo' or 'do over' function in the OTA updater.

It could be recovered using the serial port, but that means taking it apart and doing a lot of skilled labor.
Most people would just exchange it (and maybe throw a kid or two into the deal).
Many Thanks.

I will call amazon and try my look for a change.
The serial mode is to heavy.
Next time I must take more care.
