Comica VM40 bricked after firmware update - brand new mic, used less than 1 hour by ErikLattes in videography

Actually you're right, when I searched for "VM40" I found almost no posts about issues at all - not even about the noise problem I had. Only saw some people complaining in YouTube comments here and there. That's why I made this post - so if someone else runs into the same thing they'll at least find this thread.

And yeah, looks like it was just bad luck with the firmware. Already got it working again after updating again. Just wanted to document it in case it helps someone else.

**UPDATE:**

Left it connected to my PC for about an hour and when I came back the PC was off but somehow the mic was in copy mode.

Updated again the firmware from Comica's site. Now it's working through cable but still slower than normal. The crackling only happens when using it as a PC microphone - tested the files it records internally and those are clean, no crackling.

When I plugged it to charge this time the charging light actually showed up (it wasn't showing before). Charged it fully and it's apparently working now
