PPK2 not turning on

We just got the PPK2 delivered but it won't turn on. If we plug it in using "power only" it lights up but it doesn't do anything when we plug in the "data/power". It also won't show up in the profiler app, tried on both macos and linux.

Should we return it or is there an easy fix?

  • Hi, I tested in two OS.

    The one is macOS Monterey (version 12.1).  nRF connect is v3.12.1, Power Profiler is v3.5.2.

    The other is windows 10 (version 22H2), nRF connect is v3.12.0, Power Profiler is v3.5.3.

    I don't know the version of PPK2, but there is a label on the board:

    PCA63100

    1.0.1

    2022.30

    E52D3358

    Thinks.

    This states App pc-nrfconnect-ble v4.0.0 official and shows that you have programmed your PPK2 with incorrect FW. 

    Please open a new DevZone to fix this issue.

    Kind regards,
