Cehpalomods Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi! just received my chip, and like the giddiest of school girls I instantly wanted to update the screens.once plugged in it boots, and flashes (which I'm given to believe is normal without a battery) but my computer and escribe don't pick up on it. Curious if anyone else had this issue or if they know what I might be doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Not arrived yet so just generic tips: have you tried other cables and cleaned the cable connections, especially on the micro end of the cable. You have probably done these, but just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 USB cables can be problematic, try severalMany are not the right type, some are Power oNly and not power/data.This was an issue many have found already, try several cable before giving up.

Cehpalomods Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Tired all 5 of my micro-cables each with all of my ports, Its odd, I've had trouble connecting to USB devices before but usually my computer at least registers that something is plugged in.EDIT:I'm an idiot. Somehow I only own power-only cables. just checked them all with my multi-meter. Gonna pick up a new one ater work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have similar issue but after I tried on another PC it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megahtron Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 yeah tried multiple cables, multiple pcs, multiple ports and nothing. installed screen to see if anything was going on and still nothing. used the exact cable a friend/co-worker used to update his and it was a no go.

John Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Does the board work and just not talk to USB, or does it not turn on at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Have you tried connecting a battery, or just USB? If it doesnt turn on with a battery (or power supply) either then PM me your address and I'll swap it for another one so we can see what's going on with yours.

Went through all the hassles of diagnosing my USB boards and drivers, etc, before realizing on accident that it was all working to begin with and I just happened to grab two different power only USB cables first out of my pile. I didn't even know I had any power only cables, but sure enough, it connected as soon as I had one with full USB data cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
