Hi Butters,

First, the "bricking" of the Alpha happened BEFORE I formatted the drive, so, RMPREPusb.exe did not cause the problem.
Second, you are right, when formatting the drive, I followed the instructions from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Now, I repeated the formatting with the settings you mentioned, and it didn't worked. I repeated again with the inclusion of "Use 64hd/32sec if possible" as Fa_Piter suggested. Again nothing.
The device is still stuck on the "Connect" Mode, as before.
This one seems to be a very tough "brick"
Thanks for your patience.

Hi Fa_Piter,

Thanks for chiming in. I tried your suggestion, but, the situation did not improve at all.
I still wait for help.
Regards,
