Make sure you also try a different USB cable and different USB port. Sometimes USB cables are power only

Can you send a picture of the meow bit saying unable to enter bootloader mode?

Before sending the Meowbit back, if it still does not work for you, try updating or re-installing the bootloader.It has been a while since I did this but if you can’t figure it out, let me know and I’ll try again:
