When I connect to the pc, it is recognised for 12 or so seconds then you can hear the usb disconnecting again when the red light goes out (after 12 seconds of red light).

I have tried JL Cmdr to wipe the device, but it doesnt work. I have tried on numerous occasions to load the OS via apploader, but again this doesnt work as it fails to connect after loading the software (initialization).

I managed to wipe the device with cfp.exe and this gave me a flashing red light sequence of two flashes then a pause then two flashes.

Could someone please help???
Return to the seller and get your money back. Sounds to me like it is dead.
