MCU-LINK bricked

[Darvon]

I have a brand-new MCU-LINK.  As recommended, I updated the firmware.  Programming fails for both  v2 and v3.  J3 is installed.  Red LED comes on.  Windows chimes when I plug in the USB.  Now it is totally dead.  (When I remove J3 and plug it in, Windows does not recognize it.  What to do?

Here is what I do and works for me (Windows)

1. download and install LinkServer v1.5.30 from here: https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/software/development-software/mcuxpresso-software-and-tools... 
2. Power MCU-Link with ISP Jumper installed, red LED is on
3. Execute C:\NXP\LinkServer_1.5.30\MCU-LINK_installer\scripts\program_CMSIS.cmd:
   
4. Press a key and it will program it:
   
5. Press CTRL+C to quit
6. Remove ISP Jumper and re-power the probe

If this does not work for you, you might post what you see?

Hi, @Darvon 

Are you using scripts to update the firmware?

Attached is my demonstration of firmware update using MCU-LINK_installer_3.133, please refer to it.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards, Alex
