I was building a prototype on my nRF52DK. Before the weekend it all worked fine, switched it off, came back after the weekend and now I get the "Could not power-up debug power domain." when I try to program it.
It came to life just once after I had pulled all the wires out and blew some dust off it, but when I then hooked everything back up it was dead again and stayed dead.
I hooked up an external nrf52832 and could program it fine, so I guess I fried my on board '52.
Before I hook up the same circuit to the external nrf52, I'd like to understand why I fried it. I have this sensor with AC input of up to 8.6Vpp and about 500kHz. I ran that through a rectifier, which leaves me with a blocky DC waveform with Vmin at 0V and Vmax at about 3V. Added a 0.1uF smoothing cap to get a steady 3V output, 4.05uA. This was directly connected to both a digital and an analog input (for application's reasons), and GND. That can't surely have fried my nrf52 can it?
Are there things to try to possibly recover the chip or should I just consider it lost?
