I managed to apparently brick my brand new Teensy 3.2 within hours of getting it. Was coding some I2C stuff on it on Windows. Anyway at some point, Windows wouldn't recognise it, although my other Teensy (also a 3.2) was fine. Symptoms: no COM port associated with it, but it made the USB connect/disconnect sound when the reset button was pressed. Tried all the usual things, e.g. shorting the reset pad on the back of the board, rebooting windows, holding down reset while plugging it in but to no avail. Then checking on these forums, I noticed it was being see in device manager as an HID USB device. Tried uninstalling and reinstall the USB driver, again to no avail (obviously as the other Teensy was fine).
The "fix" was to go to my Mac, install the Teensy loader and upload one of the blink hex files through this. Hey presto, it's blinking away merrily and I'm sure it's all fine now. So much for Windows...
Well, hope this is of use to someone.
By the way, I love this little thing, and thanks to Paul for making and supporting these.
