electric imp does not work

Post by mku »

Just received an april board and electric imp. Using a USB connector, I powered up the board. USB jumper is in place. I don't see electric imp's LED showing any sign of activity. I was able to verify that board has power using a multi-meter. I see that pressing down a bit on the SD connector was suggested in the past. That does not work. I am on a tight schedule for this project, any other suggestions? Should I get a replacement?

We run through a checklist of troublshooting issues before doing straight replacements, which can take a few of days depending on how easy it is to isolate and fix the issue, or estalblish a hardware failure as the cause. If your schedule doesn't allow for that, you might want to pick up a second board while we work out what's ailing this one.

For starters, could you post a photo of the board as you have it connected now please? We'll see if that gives us any clues.
