Hi Nordic Support,
I recently purchased two nRF54L15 development kits from Mouser Electronics. While one works perfectly, the other one appears to be completely dead out of the box.
Mouser requested that I post here to get an official confirmation from Nordic that the board is defective before they can process the RMA replacement.
Here are the troubleshooting steps I have already performed (A/B testing with the working board):
-
USB & Power: Used a known-good data USB cable and port. The defective board shows absolutely no LED activity when plugged in.
-
Software Detection: The board is completely unrecognized by the PC (not showing up in Device Manager) and cannot be found in nRF Connect for Desktop (Programmer).
-
Hardware: No visible physical damage or burn marks. VDD shows no voltage.
-
The working board functions perfectly under the exact same testing conditions.
Based on this, it seems the hardware/power circuit is faulty. Could you please confirm if this board is considered defective so I can proceed with the Mouser RMA process?
Thank you!
