Might very well be. Sorry.

Did you recopy the bootloader to the SD card (using a PC card reader)?
Did you make sure the SD card was formatted in FAT32 and not FAT16?
Did you extract and reinsert the SD card?
Did you retry different combinations of the Wireless+Power+reset? It can take many tries before the bootloader screen comes up.

For instance, hold power+Reset down then while they are still depressed, depress wireless, then let then all go simultaneously. OR reset+Wireless depressed then depress power then let them all go.


My favorite is the 1st method because I can hold power+wireless while holding the axim with both hands, all the while placing the stylus in the reset hole underneath the unit and just push the unit down against the stylus to depress the reset.
