Arduino nano rs232 chip (CH340) driver http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_EXE.html,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix4t-_RZ7NI . Unbrick the FT232RL FTDI USB Serial Adapter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZH_qGautqM. Download http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/MProg3.5.zip and follow instructions as per youtube video. CH340 is different manufacturer than FTDI. Either CH340 or FTDI will be used to translate USB to serial rs232
