[Solved] Error while un-bricking pm3 easy

I got a bricked pm3 easy from a friend of mine and tried to un-brick it. He isn’t sure if updating has bricked it or when it happened. Proxmark is recognizes as unknown USB device and LEDs seem to work, LED A and LED C are glowing when the button is pressed during boot. I tried to un-brick it with OpenOCD and a buspirate and got following result:

Error: timed out while waiting for target halted

Info : Buspirate switched to normal mode

Then I tried it with my RDV2.0 to check if my setup works and got following result:

I did “fix” the IR capture error by changing “-ircapture 0x1” to “-ircapture 0xe”, not sure if the IR capture value is a different on the pm3 easy. Still no luck.
Everything seems to indicate a dead processor or pcb issues.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Re: [Solved] Error while un-bricking pm3 easy

It was a hardware issue. Retinning the pins of the microcontroller did solve it.
