I have a Arduino Pro Mega328 and when 'avrdude: Send: 0 [30] [20]' happens I see a red led blink near the usb port, so there must be connection?
How do I test if the board still works?
I have tried everything, installed 100 different drivers, changed every setting possible. Not sure how to go forward here...
It is definitely the correct board and port and I have tried on 3 different computers, 5 different cables.
There must be a way to know if the board is broken? I don't want to get a new one if it works, and it looks like it works to me by seeing the led's
Maybe try reading near the top of the troubleshooting section of the forum....loop back test will tell you something basic.
I did the loop back test and it worked, so this means the problem is not with the connection? So maybe the bootloader is broken or the Mega328 chip?

That makes sense. Do you have a new chip you can plug in?
I have a modified version of a Arduino Pro, the chip is tiny and I'm not going to weld a new one on...might as well buy a new board.
There has to be a way to test if something is broken so I can just buy a new one. Don't want to buy a new one if its not actually broken, i'l just have the same problem then.
