My thingy 53 does not power up

[Tony Khoshaba]

I have two fresh thingy 53. None of them power up even though I connect them to my computer using USB-C cable.

They are brand new boards.

This is the only thing I can think of. Did you flip the power switch?

[Tony Khoshaba]

Ok I did not know that is actually a switch power! I was pushing the push button in the middle of the board.

Hi Tony,

Is it working now.? SW1 on the Thingy:53 is the power switch.. You can refer the Getting started guide here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/gsg_guides/thingy53_gs.html

Regards,
