RE: Bricked my WP-34S
You might try this slightly different flashing procedure:
  1. Turn on the calculator (do not worry if it is unresponsive due to earlier flashing failures)
  2. Plug in in the programming cable into the calculator and plug the USB end into the computer
  3. Set up MySamba to prepare to do the download (do not press [Send File])
  4. Press and hold the [On] key
  5. Press and hold the ERASE button (or toggle in on in my case)
  6. Press the RESET button inside the back cover of the calculator with a paper clip
  7. Release the ERASE button
  8. Release the calculator [On] button
  9. Turn the calculator on (should not get any response)
  10. Press the MySamba [Send File] button to send the flash image. After a few seconds you should see the transmit progress.
  11. Disconnect the cable on both ends and exit MySamba
  12. Press the reset button with a paper clip again
  13. Press the calculator [On] button! It should come alive with the new flash image.

Notice that you hold down the [On] button during an extended part of the this procedure. I thought I had bricked my unit and had the same issues that you've encountered. When I found this procedure in http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/...977#200119 it was first time I could get the flash to work.
