Hi,

If you turn on the Pix you should have the option to flash boot or send a
break signal.  Unless the 520 is different:

Can you got to ROMMON mode?

How do I get to ROMMON mode.

I couldn't find a way to get it fixed as of now. On further reading I
discovered that PIX 520 doesn't have "monitor" mode. Justin how could you
enter monitor mode in PIX 520?

Thanks.
