nRF51 does not update firmware

Hi, I have purchased a Nordic nRF51 and start to write my firmware using mbed OS compiler. As far as I can see the whole process was working perfectly. I could update the firmware, see the board led blinking and right away the new firmware was working as expected. A couple of days ago I started to face a problem, so far if I try to change the firmware the board keep using the old one. It does not reset anymore even if I keep press the reset button for 5 seconds as the manual says. I am out of resources and I am wondering what can be a possible solution to put the board on the fabric state and start again to run a new firmware in it.

  • So I found the answer going through mbed OS forum and I guess it can be useful for everybody. I have downloaded the soft version s110_nrf51_8.0.0 and using nRFgo studio I had to wipe out my board, install the s110 v8 and everything went back to normal

    The cause was an embed eink display which was plugged using the wrong pins which caused the board to go in error mode and not able to recover anymore
