Troubleshooting
If you can not see your USB blaster, it might be that you either have to use one of the 3 solutions below - if first attempt does not work start over from step 1! - do not risk hot-plugging while the unit is on -> probably nothing happens, but be extra careful in general as it is firmware.
*USB Hub before the blaster
*Another USB Blaster.
*If you have a dedicated USB port for BIOS update on you motherboard use that port - It fixes most driver issues with the USB Blaster!
