Is there anything I can do to try to salvage it? Or potentially get a replacement?avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

Arduino Micro Dead
I recently purchased a Micro for use in an ongoing project. I had it hooked up to an Ultimate GPS and SD breakout, and was having issues with the serial port. Windows would ding when it was plugged in, and the COM port would show up in the device manager, but not in the IDE. I successfully reburnt the bootloader and connected, but shortly after the board stopped being recognized. Plugging it in to the USB returns nothing and attempting to burn the bootloader returns

Re: Arduino Micro Dead
That part is a Java runtime issue. It has problems keeping track of COM ports at times. If it is showing up as a COM port in the Device Manager, the board is working.Windows would ding when it was plugged in, and the COM port would show up in the device manager, but not in the IDE.
Does it show up at all in Device Manager now? Perhaps as an unknown device?I successfully reburnt the bootloader and connected, but shortly after the board stopped being recognized.

Re: Arduino Micro Dead
Thank you for the information about the Java runtime error. I will keep that in mind for the future.
It doesn't show up in the device manager at all, and I get no sound when it plugs in.

Re: Arduino Micro Dead
When exactly did you purchase the Micro?

I actually dont necessarily need a replacement. An arduino nano turns out to be much more effective for my purpose
