Nordic NRF52840 Preview DK doesn't turn on

[Luke.L]

Hi,

  I have a trouble trying to start development process on my NRF52840 DK.

Following the instructions

https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Getting-started-with-the-nRF52840-Development-Kit

The LED does not turn on for step 5 if I am connected to the computer. I am unable to see the DK in my process explorer.

However, switching to VDD and using the given coin cell battery, the LED1-4 works and I am able to switch between them using the button

Thank you

Regards,

I can't seem to edit my original post, but voltage test between GN and VIN shows 3.8v

Ok turns out i needed to switch to VDD instead of USB. Could someone edit the starting guide to include that step?

Thanks
