<p>I was trying to update the firmware on my NXT but suddenly the screen went blank and it started beeping.

Btw, did the beeping sound like computer mouse clicks? If so, then this means that the firmware has been broken in some way. Here's another troubleshooting idea: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/8076/15028

Click the [link](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/8076/15028) in my second comment for instructions on fixing the problem. If it doesn't help, let us know. Clicking NXT bricks are actually quite common.
