Official drivers v.-11 and -12 brick the device if it is chinese clone chip.
If it`s original chip they won`t brick it.
There is a way to bring it back to life but you have to use google for that and a linux I guess.
That's interesting, I did try a bunch of different drivers. I don't remember every version, but 12 may have been one of them. I assume it's a chinese chip, they all seem to be from there. If you or anyone has an alternate source I'd be interested, I'm usually the first to be irrationally critical of chinese made stuff. And somewhere I have a bootable linux install on a flash drive, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try and see if I can fix it if that is what happened. That's the first I've heard of bricking one though, I searched a variety of different forums trying to learn more about them before purchasing one and never saw that, I knew some drivers were known not to work correctly in this application, but nothing about bricking them. I'll try to find that flash drive, do some googling and see what I can come up with. It'd be great if I can get this working. I appreciate the info.
