I've read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_BRICK
and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=DeadBoot

My problem is, I'm not sure if I've bricked my phone or not.
I tried to flash a rom from my SD card on recieved a "no file found on disk" error (or something close to that). I hit reset, and now nothing happens with I turn on or reset my device.
It seems the charge light went from red to green, so at some level its working.
If I leave the power cable plugged in, the light stays red (and eventually goes green, I assume when changed). If I take the battery out with the power still plugged in, the light flickers red/green/red/green then goes blank.
If I leave the power cable plugged in, and remove the battery and then wait a few mins, all the lights momentarily flash.
I'm just not sure how to get back to the bootloader? I've read to try putting the battery back in while holding down the 2 soft keys, but thats not working.
I remember on the 6828 that I had to press reset and on while holding the soft keys to reboot?
I'm really struggling here.

Is it the soft keys? Is it the action key and reset?
(I WAS using a cooked ATOM rom on my 6828)

Please? Any suggestions? I'm really not up to building a cable!

UPDATE: Ok.. I've recovered. Short version: take out SD card and battery. Hold down reset button AND the 2 soft keys WHILE putting the battery in (this take some co-ordination). Wait a few seconds (up to 20) and should come back.
