Hi,  I have 2 chilis - one from Marto and one that is either from Lucko or MrTeal (I'm not complety sure-it is a dark green pcb with "The Chili Rev 2.1" written on the the upper left side). I flashed the Marto's board with the 1.0v firmware.  It went super - everything works way better.    But then I flashed the other board  -  2-3 sec. after the power cycle the LEDs 5,6,7,8 stay constantly on, 1 and 3 blink synchronously with rate about 2 times in 1 second,   LED 2,4 stay off.    What should I do?   The board worked 3 months wihout any problems. But now it is like dead,  windows doesn't find it.


P.S.  After a whole day of testing (multiple restarts and waiting together with some heating through a hair dryer)  the unit started, the leds went off and windows found the device.  Aftert a short moment of joy I discovered that only 4 engines are working - the others are missing.   I reflashed again with the same 1.0v FW -  but again - the same happened.   Next time I have the unit working Im gonna return to the previous fw.

P.S.2  Well.  After another day of testing I realised that I can not return the previous FW.  I'm stuck with 4 engines now.
