I had one like yours do the same thing.. I tried everything imaginable.. to no avail. so I say yes bricked.

next thing... NO there is NO recovery for a hitachi as of yet.

You "could" possibly send it to someone like Stusy who can remove the chip from the board then reflash it correctly and HOPE that fixes it. However he is also seeing problems with even reflashing does not help. It seems to be a power issue or something.

Did you happen to do the 2 wire trick? if so did you by any chance do it backwards the first time ? Even once? common tell the truth... alot have done it .. yes I have too.
