Default NTL 250 Bricked

I have a NTL 250, and last night when I was writing the bootloader in SOftJag the program crash half way through, the modem wont do anything, I couldn't even reconnect.

Is there any way of unbricking this modem with out lifting the Tsop chip?

thanks for your help in advance guys.

Nope lifting the TSOP is the only way forward

if you haven't unplugged it you might be alright it crashed about 5 times when i tried writing the bootloader on mine if I remember correctly you need to hit disconnect and close softjtag then open up hyper terminal and type the following

cd /flash
close
deinit
init

then I rebooted my pc then tried softjtag again, this worked for me!
