Phone Stuck in Download Mode

[Guest OyiwaaNoela]

Hello,

I was recently trying to load a stock rom on my LG540 and the process was interrupted because of a power failure. But the phone luckily booted into "download mode". I want to reflash using the procedures discussed in various posts on bricked phones, but my computer can no longer recognize the phone. The KDZ updater reports "Phone not Found". The correct drivers are installed and I am running windows 7 home edition.

Any thoughts as to how to get the computer recognize the phone?

Thanks, Oyiwaa
