White screen

NETMF & Gadgeteer

After having Sd card issues, I decided to wipe and re install Tinybooter and firmware. Which I may add I have done before on this board.
I got as far as erasing which went fine, was asked to reset the board and now got a white screen!! When I plug my unit into my pc, i get a unknown device instead of the standard GPS Camera detection.

Is it safe to say, this board is f*** now?

Do you have a good power source or powered HUB?

  1. remove little jumper on ChipworkX module
  2. plug board into PC
  3. your PC should detect it fine (you will see nothing on the display, this is normal)
  4. put jumper back and proceed with TinyBooter update as explained in docs

Yes, I have an external power source supplying 12v.

Ok, I have tried your steps and get a an error from winwdows

USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this compter has malfunctioned and windows does not reconize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click ths message.

Are you saying a white screen is normal?

Hi

I have also the same white screen after e little message “tiny boo” with a battery of 9v. But it worked before (1 hour).

With the PC with usb, there is not problem…

What is the problem ? The battery is yet low ? or too strong ? is strange…

Thanks.
