[Win 7] Blue screen during FW update, Flirc bricked?

[mikecrike]

I just received my Flirc and installed Flirc GUI on my win 7 (64 bit) just fine. Flirc showed up on my device manager as "Flirc" and the GUI worked. 

 

Before using it for the first time, I decided to update the firmware and got a blue screen (bad pool header) instead. Since then Flirc shows up as "bootldr" on my device manager. I tried to manually reinstall the drivers using windows and tried the zadig utility but I still get blue screen whenever I try to run Flirc GUI. 

 

I did a system restore and reinstalled Flirc GUI. Flirc now shows up as "Flirc" on my device manager and the driver reads, "libusK (v.3.0.6.0)" on zadig but I still get blue screen whenever I try to run Flirc GUI. 

 

Anyone else faced this problem? Is my Flirc bricked? Can't help feeling disappointed. I haven't even used this thing once!

I've never heard of this. 

Can you try the 3.0 beta package in the forum?

Thanks Jason! It's all fixed now. I managed to run Flirc GUI 1.2.7 rc9 (haven't tried rc11) without crashing and it updated the firmware so its all good now.
