Axim x50v problem

Hi,
I tried flashing lennysh 6.5 on my axim x50v but it doesnt boot past 80% dell blue screen.I first upgraded to wm5 before doing this flash.
Now I am stuck even after several hard and soft reset.
I tried to flash it to another rom but when I press wireless+power+reset I only end up hard reset.
I ran diagnostics and it says that the wireless button isnt working now....what happened to the wireless button?
help how do i restore my axim

A failed hard reset would indicate a problem with the ROM.

There are two ways to flash a ROM as of now:

1. Use Activesync with Dell's utility to flash
2. Use the bootloader to flash

So if we can't get those to working, I'm thinking you have a bricked Axim.

Also, try pressing a bit harder on the wireless button. You may miraculously get it to work.
