[atlas] Failing probe, all lights blink

Hi Philip,

The chance that is bricked is very low so there is no need for such 
hardcore methods :)

On the 
https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/#what-do-the-lights-on-the-side-of-the-probe-mean 
you can find your LED flashing patterns. If the second led is blinking 
slow it looks like it is running from the internal flash which means 
that either external flash is corrupted or damaged. Sometimes you're 
able to format the flash but do not notice the reduced size. Probe will 
not be able to function if the flash drive is smaller than 4GB.
