DRB:
I bricked my Gigabeat S60 when trying to install Rockbox. How do I reflash the ROM to get it running again?  :'(

Are you really sure you need to reflash the ROM? The Gigabeat loads the firmware from disk, and you should be able to recover when in recovery mode (when those "firmware restore required" message appears). At least I haven't managed to get my S30 into a state where I couldn't recover it using beastpatcher (beastpatcher does have sendfirm functionality since a while now). It might be a good idea to describe the exact state you're facing and how you got there.

When I tried installing Rockbox it went through the process where it reloaded twice and told me unplug and turn off the battery switch. When I turned it back on and tried starting it up nothing happens. No display and nothing seems to be happening.

Installing Rockbox should not make the player perform any flash procedure. Have you tried giving the player a long charge, or starting it with the charger connected? I've had such an issue once when I thought I turned the battery switch on but in fact it wasn't really on.
