Going back to stock firmware

I was so exicited to flash that I forgot to make a backup of the Netgear stock firmware, I need to send it in to get replaced and wanted to put the stock firmware back in. Not sure on how to do this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure you uploaded the correct chk? DD-WRT might accept a fw image and tell you that upload was complete, but if the image was not for this model it will stop flashing and just reboot.

I thought that I did, do you know which one I should use? I got it from the netgear site. It should have been the right one
