I was kill bootloader in my ATOM(IMHO).

There are files on SD:

diskimege_version.nb0
eboot.nb0
extendedrom.img
nova_pda_033105.mot
vl1d_pda_ver.mot

I was want to rollback from EXEC ROM to ATOM ROM

SD was in the PDA. I was set ATOM in Bootloader Mode. When it's messaged ".....SD loading Eboot.nbo" and wait for a moment, I pressed Soft-reset key. LCD went out....and nothing more.

I've tried to press any combinations of keys, dissconnect accumulator - nothing. ATOM's keeping silent as a fish upon ice :)

Any suggestions, how I can ressurect my ATOM? Is there any software can "contacts" with ATOM in low-level through USB?

Flashing from a card is generally a very bad idea if you're not completely sure on what you're doing. When the bootloader is shot, there's not much you can do except follow the suggestion above. Contact a service center.

How much it will be cost(repair) in Autorized Service Center in ASIA?

There are non-autorized SCs in Moscow. It wants about $150-170 for job.
But they repair by changing FLASH(microchip) on mainboard.

@nomad_irk
is your atom out of warranty time ? just send it back to repair center with your promlem description and see what happens. I don't think tha they will send you the atom back in the same condition like you first sent it to them.

Yes it is.

SC in Moscow doesn't have needed microchip.

I want to try to ressurect PDA through JTAG. May be, it will be succes and may be not....Any way, SC can't help me right now(see above), 'cause they don't know when they'll have needed chip.
