USB connection failed


 

Hello,

Since this morning, my NanoVNA-H don't accept the USB connection.

I tried on 3 different PCs, no success.

On battery, all is ok but i'm not able to do charging.

I suspect an USB interface failure but i'm not sure...

What can i do ?

Thank you for your help.

Rudi

====================================

Let's hope it's just dust or dirt in the connector, perhaps remove with a brush. Or, the connector may have broken off the board enough to have dropped one connection - physical problem rather than anything more complicated. Tale a look.

Cheers,
David

Why don't you look into the Device Manager.

Have you tried a different USB cable?


 

Hi David,

Thank you for your answer.

In between, i found the "problem".

The USB port was connected to a battery powered PC.

The NanoVNA's CH0 port was connected to a grounded frequency meter,? powered by the main.

After a main power fail, a fatal overvoltage arrived and the NanoVNA's USB interface was killed.

Results, no more USB connection; no red line active and no battery charging possible.

May be, a better USB protection would be required...but for the price...

Regards,

Rudi

PS I ordered a NanoVNA-H4 and i will take it totally disconnected when not in use...

Sorry to hear that. Still a pain, Rudi, but better to destroy a $80 (or whatever) device than a $8000 one!
