It says it is, but it ain't resetting

I reset an errant NXT and completed downloading the firmware.  But the NXT still
would not wake up and stayed in Samba mode.

Trying to download firmware immediately after latching the battery pack and
hearing the Samba beat, gives me a "Cannot locate NXT device to download
firmware". Although, Windows Device Manager shows a Lego device plugged in.

If I hit the reset for 20 seconds then download firmware, successful completion
is reported. But still no !Startup jingle and the NXT stays in Samba mode.

In your opinion, is this NXT comatose or brain dead?

(...) It may just need new batteries. You may want to try putting brand new Alkaline AAs in it and then press the reset button for a long time (or try using BricxCC or NeXTTool to put the brick in SAMBA mode). John Hansen (17 years ago, 22-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
