nRFConnect Programmer Error: Timeout occured while handling debug power

Hello, 

I am working on the Raytac MDBT50Q-RX dongle which has the nrf52840 chip embedded. I am having issues programming it using the debug pins on the module, using the nrfConnect programmer desktop application. I get the following error:

'Error: Failed with exit code 1. One or more batch tasks failed: - [Probe] Device error: A timeout occurred while handling debug power: Timed out trying to power sys and debug region, code: Generic. Message: Batch task protection-get failed, [Probe] Device error:  timeout occurred while handling debug power: Timed out trying to power sys and debug region.'

I have double and triple-checked the pin connections of 3V3, SWCLK, SWDIO and GND. What is strange is that it was working before (just once) and I had access to the chip, but after flashing some firmware (the pca10059 firmware), it seemed to brick the device because it no longer responds, and gives said error when trying to reflash it. I also cannot find any mention anywhere of the error online hence why I am here.
