Issue Upgrading Firmware on Cisco 7970 - Bricked?

I recently attempted to upgrade the firmware for my SCCP Cisco 7970 phone to 9-3-1SR2-1. After doing so it will no longer boot. When connected via either PoE or power brick it will just cycle through a black screen and the second line button lights up orange from time to time.

I am not sure if I bricked the phone. I tried both methods of factory restoring - 123456789*0# and 3491672850*#. 

I also read a few forms where it was advised to use TFTP32 on a machine to provide the firmware files. I tried this but all the phone seemed to request is the term70.default.loads file and nothing else. 

Has anyone had similar issues and were able to resolve them?
