Hello,

As shown in the attached picture, the device was/it's connected to the computer.

I already saw the links you posted, but all of them refer to hardware related problems (seems reasonable but not for a development kit).

Last time I tested the De0-Nano was no more than 2 years ago, and it was working properly.

Until now, the board has rested in it's case...

Regards,

Simon
