All you need to do is hold down the Play and Menu buttons. The other steps are useless.
Including plugging it in? Kewl.
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Consuela,
I have Linksys. I generally like it and had it since May. Last week, it has been cutting out here and there, but I think that might be Comcast and not the router.
I've had a series of Linksys routers, and they've all been reliable.
It worked without even the toggling.
Whatever it was doing in the 2 hours frozen really sucked the battery low, though.
Thanks!
Consuela, if you are hooking a Tivo via this means, Linksys is recommended.
I have this Linksys router, and it's been reliable for the past 2+ years. (They've got similar Wireless-G models now that are faster, but I'm too lazy to upgrade.)
I have the same router as Jessica and it's been reliable with my computers and the TiVo. Well, until the big lightning storm a couple of weeks ago when my entire network got fried....
But I bought another of the same router because of it's reliability.
I've had luck with both Linksys and DLink.
I've got a Dlink and ithas worked well for me.
In FRIED COMPUTER news, I remembered last night that I already had a spare hard drive on this computer. I've now installed XP on the drive, after disconnecting the infected drive from the IDE chain.
I've already downloaded and run the sasser fix from Symantec, and found this drive to be uninfected. Some time this weekend, I will reconnect the infected drive and try to recover it.
