Hy...

Well... I did a stupid thing. I tried uploading to a 5v micro with the setting set to 3.3v. Now the dang thing is bricked. Everyone seemed to be able to fix this problem after a simple reset but I can't seem to do it. I keep shorting the gnd and reset pins with a piece of wire and the thing still won't show up in my ports. I managed to do it once or twice but the blinking light example code compiled too long and I could never upload the code in time. Now it just doesn't seem to want to work again. Could I have fried something? I did manage to get it to show up 2x and a red LED lit up when I did but now all the two red LEDs do is faintly (VERY faintly) blink whenever I short the pins.
