Hi,

If you create a private ticket, and share a bit of information on how the kit behaves, we will try to help you out as good as we can.

Try with different computers and usb cables to see if anything lights up.

Kind regards,

Håkon

I bought it from Mouser Electronics.

Do you have any suggestion what should I do? :)

Thanks for elaborating. Very strange behavior. How did you get hold of this board, i.e. through our distributor or sales team?

Thank you for the quick answer!

I was flashing the code to the nrf as any other day. It worked perfectly fine till the moment the pop-up message from Windows appeared, saying "power surge on USB port".

After that message, nrf couldn't be powered anymore.

Nothing was connected to the board, just a USB cabel connected to my laptop. I haven't changed anything in the Board Configurator.

Other devices connected to the same port work, so the port is not causing the problem.

Thank you!

Hello,

Did you connect anything special to you DK i.e any external voltage or power measurement? Did you try setting any voltage through the Board Configurator? Please provide more details on what you were doing up to the point it would not power up.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
