Jestson orin nano does not power on. (The Ethernet light turns on, but the power light does not turn on.)

After the board received a bit of a shock, I connected the power adapter to the Jetson board and the power LED does not light up, but the Ethernet LED does. Also, the fan does not run and the display does not work.

I tried switching to recovery mode using a jumper wire and flashing it with sdkmanager, but it didn’t help.

Afterwards, I tried connecting to the serial debug console in the link, but it did not work.

When I turn on the power, the Ethernet LED is on, but why is the power LED off? Is it a hardware problem?



There is no need to try any software installation when power LED is not on.

Looks like a hardware problem.

Is there a hardware check method I can try?

I also had the same problem, have you found any solution to that? Thank you

Did it work well before? Or is it a new devkit? Is there any other external device attached on your devkit?

Did you use a jumper to pin 5 and 6 of J14 by mistake? That will disable auto-power-on function.

Yes it was working well for few weeks, I have been using YD Lidar G2 for a while, it was working perfectly.
I haven’t used the pins 5 and 6 by mistake.

If that happened what will be the solution? Is there a way to re enable the Auto power on function? Thank you.

It worked well before, and no external devices are connected. Also, I have never connected a jumper to pins 5 and 6. Additionally, after following the reference link, I connected a jumper to pins 5 and 6, and the Ethernet LED turned off. Then, I connected a jumper to pins 11 and 12, and the Ethernet LED turned back on. It seems that the Ethernet LED indicates the power-on state. However, the issue remains the same as before.

Hi, seems the board is damaged. If you have hw knowledge, you may check the board referring to the carrier board schematic/pcb files in DLC. Jetson Download Center | NVIDIA Developer
