Also you can import Ledger seed in Electrum,to do that just use File - New/Restore - Standard Wallet - I already have a seed - ...
I would not suggest to do this!
This will destroy the whole purpose of a hardware wallet (keeping the private keys in a save environment).Connecting the ledger with electrum (as a GUI) is the safer way.
Importing the seed of a hardware wallet into a desktop wallet should be the last (very last) step after nothing else worked to access your BTC's.
I'd rather first try out a different OS / PC before exposing the seed to theft.
Once the seed has been typed/entered into another wallet it should be considered as compromised.
will my Ledger 24 word recovery work with electrum/myetherwallet?
Yes.
But you don't have to import your seed into electrum/myetherwallet. And you should
not do so!
This would destroy the whole purpose of a hardware wallet. The reason for a hardware wallet is to not have the private keys leave a safe environment.
You can connect your ledger with electrum/myetherwallet without exposing the private keys to those applications.
You will basically just use electrum/myetherwallet as an interface to communicate with your nano s.
Regarding your chrome application:
Did you check if everything is up-to-date?
Bitcoin Chrome app should be
1.10.1Bitcoin app (on your nano s) should be at least
1.1.18Firmware of your nano should be
1.3.1I do not understand why you repeat what you wrote before?

Tried other usb cable, tried 3different computers at 3 different locations. Only thing i havent tried is a mac and i guess i will try that but i just dont think that will be the one thing that works after all this.
So i have 3 faulty ledgers now. How many do i have to buy... this is so ridiculous
So I give him instruction how to try step by step one more time with Electrum as just user interface,and last solution is to import seed in any other wallet since this is only way to gain access to his coins.If he use legit Electrum wallet on clean PC then his coins will be safe until he get some new hardware wallet of fix problem with Ledger.
