The Other Cliff,

Thanks for the suggestions.  Nothing seems to work.  I don't think it's ever connected.  I'm working on a MAC and maybe that's an issue, but I have tried every sequence and button twice and nothing connects to this board.  Board was working perfectly before a dicked with it.  Now it's hopeless.  Thanks for the suggestions,

Drew

Have you tried manual rescue where you press rescue and then plug in the USB?

That is required for what I was suggesting (safe mode, etc).

If all you get is LED slowly fading in and out, you may not have firmware, just a boot loader and again you need to start with it unplugged, and press "upgrade and erase", then plug it in.  If that doesn't work, you either need a bootloader or you have a cable or PC problem.
