Sphere not powering on

tvuylsteke
tvuylsteke over 6 years ago

I had been going through this sample https://www.element14.com/community/groups/internet-of-things/blog/2019/08/01/azure-sphere-starter-kit-advanced-tutorial

Everything worked in the end. let the device on all night, sending data to IoT Central successfully. I wanted to debug/understand why temperature readings on both sensors were around 34 degrees while I was expecting 20-25.

 

So I did some visual studio debugging, couldn't really find any issues, the calculation matches the sensor specs. Stopped debugging and as I recall, all leds on the device went dead. Been trying to plug it in/out a few times and once the led came up but went dead shortly after.

 

Any tips or tricks? As it seems the device is not powering on so the ports in windows aren't appearing either.

    Thomas To eliminate the computer for a moment from your debugging, try plugging-in a regular +5V phone charger (ie. one with a microUSB connector) If the green Power LED does not illuminate, I'd suspect…

    Thomas Are you saying that the green power LED is also off? I'd suggest close Visual Studio for now, and do a quick check of the status of your starter kit, as follows: 1) Check that the VBAT jumper is…

    What the FREAK!

    I just brought it for Rs.318 and my wallet became blank!

    AND WHAT I GOT A DEAD AZURE SPHERE! (Maybe they produced 20,000 defect azure spheres and then thought of putting them  for a giveaway!)

    I cant stop thinking about my first development board dead before even doing my first project!

    Now I cant even get another board until I start earning on my own!

    Check the VBAT jumper is in place on J9 pins 1 and 2

    (J9 is located in center of the board)

    This is an old issue, which was solved. See :

    Azure Sphere starting kit stopped working

    and

    https://www.hackster.io/contests/SecureEverything/discussion/posts/5218

    I guess you can alternatively ask for a replacement board, but this choice requires some time.

    Hope the mentioned solution will help you also. Peter Fenn already informed the manufacturers about this issue!
