I followed the steps, install CP210x_VCP_Windows, plug in device, run zadig_2.1.0.exe, but then I get this:

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried reinstalling Windows, tried different ports, hubs, etc.
LED is solid green sometimes, other times just the FAN is on.

I had the "One of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." with one pod and nothing I did helped.  I tried it on 4 computers with fresh driver installations.  At the time, I didn't know about a reset button on the pod.  Maybe try that if you are comfortable taking the heat sink off.  My pod was still under warranty so I returned it. 

Don't use Zadig for your testing.  Use CP drivers for pods with CP com chips.  Use STM drivers for STM com chips.  Reinstall the correct drivers and see if Windows recognizes the device.
