 I received a Thingy91 from a colleague who orderd it shortly after hitting the virtual stores but didn&amp;#39;t do a lot with it. I got it on my table and started to work on it, connecting power but not a single sign of life. No led activity anywhere.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:10:46 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/55329/thingy-91-dead" /><item><title>RE: Thingy 91 dead</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/224447?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Dec 2019 13:10:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6a4abc21-ef88-4086-8d39-86f11929dd98</guid><dc:creator>&amp;#216;yvind</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m so sorry to hear that. From the description you give, it sounds like the device is in &amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;application serial recovery mode&amp;quot;. To enter this mode, the main button must be held while powering on thingy:91.
