Glory, glory! OOBER is alive! It took a couple of tries of the above
procedure.
It never registered as an Unknown Device. In fact, it never registered at all.
Finally it came up as a Lego Device. At that point, I downloaded firmware and
Ouala, OOBER is revived.
I think my punch tool (which fit nicely in the axle hole) may have had something
to do with it. In my final try, I put a bit of pressure on the tool to make sure
the spring-loaded point was pushing down on the reset button. I think next time,
I'll push down on the reset button with a sharpened axle. The straighted paper
clip may not have been pushing hard enough on the reset button. A centered punch
tool or sharpened axle wouldn't miss.
Thank you all! I was prepared to swap a working NXT for OOBER, Nevertheless, I
feel that bringing back the original will help restore some if not all of the
girls feelings for their beloved OOBER.
I'm thinking up some cute gesture to restore the girl's trust in technology.
I'll make sure to mention that it took a community to bring OOBER back. I'm
certain the girls will be most grateful.
Again, thank you!

| (...) It would be really cool if the girls could get OOBER back themselves. One way to do it is as follows: 1. Kill OOBER again. Not really, just hit the reset button for more than 10 seconds to force it into SAMBA mode again. 2. Let the girls do (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
