Orin Nano not powering on

I have a Jetson Orin Nano developer kit from Sparkfun. I am encountering a problem where the device isn’t turning on. When I try to plug in the power supply, the green power LED won’t light up and the fan doesn’t spin.

This problem started today when it booted up; it seemed to be installing things or updating the OS - I’m not too sure. While it was doing this, I lost signal on my monitor and the board appeared to turn off. I assumed maybe it was done installing everything and powered off automatically. When I tried unplugging and plugging the power supply back in, it would no longer turn on.

I had it working earlier. It had Jetpack 6.1 installed on a NVMe SSD. I also tested the power supply, and it appears to be working properly. I’m not sure what the problem is.

Hi godfreyldaniel,

Do you install anything or configure something before it gets booting issue?

Please share the full serial console log for further check.
Jetson Nano & NX Style - Serial Debug Console - JetsonHacks

The last time it was working, when I plugged in the power supply, it automatically began installing things.

I will buy a TTL to USB cable and get back to you with the console log

I followed the guide, but when I plugged the power supply into the Orin Nano, nothing showed up on minicom.

Do you have another devkit to reproduce the same issue to clarify if the issue is specific to current board?

Can it enter into force recovery state?
Please run lsusb from your host to check.

No, it’s not showing up with lsusb when I try to force recovery. I also don’t have another devkit. It’s like it just stopped working - it was working fine before.

Please check if your power supply works as expected first.
If you cannot enter into force recovery state and there’s no serial console log output, there may be hardware damage, please request for the RMA.

I have checked the power supply with a multimeter and can confirm that it is working. I’ll look into submitting an RMA.
