Debricking a Router

Hey all, I've got another problem. I think the router is bricked (I think that's the term for it, I can't reach the configuration and only one connection works at a time.) The Router itself is a Linksys WRT54GC: A Compact Wireless-G Router. It all happened after a firmware update failure. It started to update the firmware, and then I left and came back and the operation had timed out. At which point, I couldn't get online with my computer anymore, yet the other computer could still get on. Tried another cable to connect to the router, no luck. Connected my computer directly into the modem and that worked. Plugged it back into the router and it works too. Now we go to the second computer and it stops working. Any tips/suggestions as to how to fix this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Apparantly, Linksys dropped the bomb here, the Compact version of the router requires the firmware to be working first to upgrade it. Since I can't get into the configuration screens of the router (the http://192.168.1.1) I can't upgrade it. Their firmware is a single .IMG file which I can't open otherwise. I don't know what using a regular Wireless G router would do.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I've tried that button a lot, from 8 seconds to 30 seconds, with no visible result.

Yeah, it was an official firmware update, so I know warranty hasn't been voided. Most likely, I'll have to send it in for a replacement.
