RE: [iPAQ] Probably not new.... but it didn't work (iPaQ)

Running the bootldr from osloader only changes DRAM, it should not have
caused any permanent problems. If you did not install anything into flash
then WinCE should reboot. Push the recessed reset button at the lower right
and see if WinCE comes back. Push the reset button while holding in the
center of the speaker/joypad and see if you get the parrot on the screen.
