I have had a little bit of success bringing a flash back alive again when it seemed bricked.
After reading your note, I retrieved the AF200T from trash, put in a new set of batteries, turned it on and let it set for an hour, and et voila (at the French say) now it works again. I went through all my flash stuff last night and found a defective Yongnuo Speedlite YN560-II. With batteries installed, the battery door wo't stay closed, but now I am afraid to throw it away. Open to suggestion. :>)
