Scanner Flashing Blue

[motorman105]

I loaded v01.20.13 into a BDC396T and got the ESN,CheckSum, I then tried to load v3.02.02 using VUP v2.0.0.7 and it wouldn't load.
The scanner just flashes blue when turned on. I can't turn the scanner off inless I remove power (unplug or remove batteries)
I tried to reset. That doesn't work...scanner continues to flash the blue screen.
I tried to reload v01.20.13...got a prompt on the computer that the scanner was already updated and gave me the esn,check sum again.
Worried
This is a condensed version of a long winded earlier post.

Error Type 5 - Flashing Screen Error
No image for this one though I do now have a video that I shot when it occurred. When and Upgrade goes wrong to the extent that you get the flashing screen first take a deep breath. Then turn the scanner off (mobile/base units) or disconnect the power cord (portable units). Press and hold L/O and 6 and power the scanner back up. The screen should be blank and backlit. This is a good thing.
At this point, begin again at very the beginning of the official Uniden procedure and perform the steps exactly as laid out. Take your time. While it only takes a few minutes to do an upgrade, it will take longer to thorougly understand the steps and get all of the details straight if it is your first time to do it or have not done it in a while.

INSERT: Remove Batteries while doing updates!!!

The above insert can make a difference.
