GH60 Satan PCB troubleshooting
« on: Fri, 30 November 2018, 00:01:13 »
Hello,

Does anyone has advices on troubleshooting GH60 PCB ?

My board is not recognized by any computer (tried with many USB cables and many computers). Not able to "see" it to re-flash it. Therefore I suspect an issue with the PCB.

Are there basics things I can check ? I have a mutlimeter but not sure where to start.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is it a new board?  Is it built or unbuilt?

It is a new board with all the components already soldered.
My guess is that there is a faulty component somewhere or a defect in the PCB but not sure where to start.

I don't suppose you have a continuity checker?  You can get one from Harbor Freight for $5 that will tell you if it's the board or not.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this. Should I check each circuit lane with the tool ?
