PPK2 bricked?

I just got a PPK2.
I was able to use it perfectly with Power Profiler. Great tool!
Today I wanted to learn more about nRF Connect other applications.
(Actually I was looking for a software that could replace iOS nRF Connect to perform DFU upgrades from my PC).

So I launched the Bluetooth Low Energy software, the first in the software list.
I wanted to start a scan but the icon was grayed (at first I thought the scan would rely on my PC bluetooth adapter).
I noticed I could select the PPK2 in the device list so I selected it (it is indeed made with a nRF53840).
The Bluetooth Low Energy software asked me if I wanted to flash my PPK2.
The flash process started.

After a few seconds, I got an error message in the log and the PPK2 LED stopped flashing.
I tried to launch Power Profiler again but the PPK2 had disappeared from the device list (there was no device shown anymore).

I rebooted. I retried.
Under Windows Device Manager the only difference when plugging the PPK2 is that "USB Root Hub (USB3.0)" appears in the list.
The PPK2 LED is still off.

Can you help me fix my PPK2 not working anymore?
