Windows stopped detecting it in the rockchip batch tool (not even mask mode), so I resorted to my trusty arch linux install to see what dmesg would say. Turns out, the kernel doesn't even register that I plugged the darn thing in. So while I get the red Optical Out light, it isn't doing anything else.
So, when I disassemble this little monkey, will shorting the pins allow it to go back into Mask mode? or have I gone too far into broken-ville to recover the device? If I can resuscitate the machine, which pins do I short?
I opted for the Extended Warranty on this device, so I could always bring it back and demand an exchange for a Neo X8, but I'd really like to stick to RK3188 hardware, because it's so much more hackable. Any help?
