The nano does not turn on today

Hi, I was playing with my nano last month and everything was fine. But then, today, when I try to turn on the nano, the green LED is on, but blank screen in the LCD. The USB has no voltage.

I put the SD card, and LCD to my new nano and it works fine.

I have tried the J48+ 5V/4A power, same result…
I’m sure the SD card is properly inserted. The SD card slot, HDMI and USB plugs are clean.
I was very careful with the hardware and static charge. And I am sure I didn’t burn any I/O.
Is there anything I can try? May I know if my original nano is broken?

Thanks

Hi, I did search in the forum… And there is nothing to show as it is a blank screen. (No signal)
Nvidia Nano b01, for the SD card, it is frameware 4.5
One thing I can think of is that my Arduino has an external 5V supply which feed the power back to Nvidia USB port. (Don’t know how to block the power…)
One phenomenon is that the Nvidia Nano can not turn on if my arduino is on by my external 5V supply. I need to unplug the external 5V power so that the Nvidia nano can turn on.
Will this burn the power circuit in the Nvidia Nano development board? (I am sure it is 5V)
Note: For the test in my previous message, I have unplugged my arduino USB to eliminate the uncertainty.

Thanks,

Please check if you can dump the log or flash the board with sdkmaanger.

Hi,

I google this “Error in NvTbootLoadBinary: 0x14 !” and nothing about the nano, only in TX1…

Then please find a x64 ubuntu 18.04 host and run sdkmanager to flash your board.

Honestly, this error log is rare as your said.

But if I put the SD card in another nano board, it runs. It seems like the hardware problem. :<

Thanks

We have some software running on the module even when there is no sdcard… It is likely that I say this comment to jetson nano users everyday.

Thus, I don’t suspect your sdcard is fine or not because the problem is not on sdcard at all…

That is why only sdkmanager can save your board.

Thanks, I don’t know how to “flash the board”, may I have the procedure or link of how to do it?

You need to find a x64 ubuntu 18.04 host first. 20.04 or some ubuntu from jetson nano are not allowed. I mean don’t try to use jetson nano to flash another jetson nano.

Refer to the quick start guide to know how to put jetson nano into recovery mode. Recovery mode is required to make the board in a state that can get flashed.

Thx. After went through the SDK Manager, the nano is running again.
Cheers
