Good evening. My first post here and I've seen all of the other posts regarding this issue with the corrupted bootloaders on the Pro Trinket boards. So, I am working on a project that involves creating an Arduino Dimmer Switch (which worked perfectly), but I accidentally burned through the board with a soldering iron.
So I've gone ahead and ordered some more Trinkets from Amazon and unfortunately ALL OF THEM are not running the bootloader when I plug in the USB (using a USB 2.0 hub after reading about issues on Windows 10 and USB 3.0). The green light remains solid but no red LEDs pulsating.
https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... bootloader
I'm following the guide in this link and I have the wires and an Arduino Uno R3 board already flashed and the pro trinket connected per the instructions.
But I am encountering many errors including signature failures and can't find the target. I've already tested all three of my boards and all of them failed. I really need this to work because it's for an HMC being used in VFX.
I've also ordered replacements and I'm encountering the same issues with the bootloader.
I'm running on Windows 10 and these issues are making me wary of using these devices. Maybe the bubble wrap is causing static on the board. Thank you.

Re: Reprogramming Adafruit Pro Trinket: Bootloader Failures
So I am back and making an attempt to fix the bootloader on this and I get the following error (even though the software correctly created the image I need). I also changed the build path as well so I am able to access the file I need.
I've attempted this several times and the results are different every time :(

UPDATE: So I have managed to get the images found but, now I'm encountering this error
I've checked my wiring and everything is correct...

Please do share the solution. I'm a small scale Pro Trinket customer, but I might need the answer some day. Thanks.KRGraphicsCG wrote:SOLVED
