nRF51 DK does not go in to bootloader mode

[pltv]

I have tried a lot but my DK wont enter in Bootloader mode, or atleast the Bootloader folder does not show up in my Windows 7 machine. I am able to do that comfortably with the other DK board i have. Should i assume that the board is broken?

Does the LD5 start to blink when you keep the IF BOOT button pressed while doing a powercycle?

Yes it does. That behavior is same as the other Board that works fine.

I haven't seen this before, and a bit puzzling considering that your other board(s) works on with the same setup. Do you happen to have a different PC setup that you can try with?

Tried in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Actually reinstalled the Windows 8 system. Still does not work. Is it possible that the Board got corrupted or something with some erroneous firmware? I know i tried some crazy stuff with persistent storage in the past. Since i used to operate on both the boards in random, i dont even know what could have gone in to the board that does not work
