I recently got my OpenMV RT1062 and it was working fine a few days ago, but now seems to be bricked. The board just has a green LED lit and my computer (IDE too) does not recognize that the board is plugged in. I am stuck on what to try next after reading through many of the forums. I have tried connecting SBL to 3.3V and in a separate try GND to RESET yet nothing changed. Has anyone had this/know how to fix it? Thanks in advance. ---

This is how the board looks and when plugged and how device manager does not read anything from the OpenMV com port. ![OpenMVCam_deviceManager](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/2X/f/f90e8ec49e83469b3e9809d5b9155a759a9eb4cc.png) ![OpenMVCam_greenlight.PNG](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/2X/c/c03f368a0c73a85699323f90e128319bc7207f42.jpeg) ---

Hi Jorge, Yes, I can help you unbrick the system. It’s very easy. Just connect a wire between the SBL and VCC pin and the camera and then plug it into the PC. Click connect on the IDE and then follow the prompts. You should erase the internal flash drive. Then, once it’s finished, you’ll need to unplug the device from the IDE, remove that wire, and then plug back in and it should be good to go. Note, the IDE dialog at the end needs to be updated, the board will not automatically go back into camera mode while the SBL wire is connected as that forces the recovery bootloader. So, once the IDE is done recovering the firmware you have to remove that wire while the device is unplugged. ---

I have the SBL connected to the 3.3V pin and then I click the CONNECT button and click OK to “No OpenMV Cams found”, then select yes its connected and bricked, and then select the Cam RT1062 (tried normal and RT1062 SBL), and yes to erase the internal file system, but then I immediately get a timeout error: “Error: UsbHidPeripheral() cannot open USB HID device (vid=0x1fc9, pid=0x0135, sn=).” ![OpenMVCam_timeout](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/2X/4/43ac7cd71343eafcf39ed15f2d574ca0c4368ffa.png) ![IMG_3015](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/openmv1/original/2X/2/22de664395f3f1987d1726eef39fa4bb536c22ee.jpeg) ---

The IDE should definitely find something attached to the PC when you click connect. Okay, I’ll live debug this with you. I’ll reply via email. ---

Hi, does the camera not seem to be able to exit the SBL recovery loop? If so, then we need to replace the unit. The factory caught most of the failing boards for our first production run. But, somehow the workers let through QA units which did not pass our QA process. They are required to focus and register the boards on production. So, bad units should not have escaped. But, it’s possible that the same guy doing 200-400 units a day could have ignored a failure notice. ---

I’m not entirely sure. The unit is simply never recognized by the computer. It never mounts regardless of order of operations. Strange thing is I’ve been using this successfully for about 3 months now and in the last week I’ve had more issues which have only been resolved by rebooting the computer, simply closing and reopening open MV wouldn’t help. Last night rebooting stopped working too ---

If it had a manufacturing issue it would not have worked at all ever. Send us an email at [openmv@openmv.io](mailto:openmv@openmv.io). I can provide live help support today. ---

I am experiencing a similar problem on Mac. My RT1062 Board can’t update the firmware because it can´t connect to the bootloader. Connecting the SBL with the 3.3V does not work either. In this configuration I get a Timeout Error. But apart from that I can upload and run code after declining the newest update. ---

Hi there! I am experiencing the exact same issue as sim’s post from today - I can’t upgrade the firmware (neither the RT1062 or RT1062 SBL DFU options have worked for me when I have it in boot mode) but I have been able to in the past and if I decline the firmware upgrade the camera seems to be working fine. Any assistance resolving this would be gratefully appreciated! I should note this is on Windows 10 ---

You need to run the IDE in admin mode. The bootloader isn’t allowed to connect to an HID device and update it if you don’t have admin privileges. This isn;t universally required but it’s the fix. ---

Reporting back that running the IDE in Admin mode hasn’t made a difference for either RT1062 or RT1062 SBL bootloader choices, it either gets stuck reconnecting to the camera or the DFU reprogramming dialog ---

Hi, I can check that the bootloader works on Mac in a few hours. However, the issue is unrelated to the IDE. It would be a permissions issue with the blhost being able to access the HID device and program it. I know this functionality should be fine on an Intel based Mac. It might be helpful to run the program from the command line. That would help show the error. Give me a bit and I can provide the paths and strings necessary to do this. ---

I can confirm the application works on an Intel based mac. Can you try manually running the bootloader app and see what it says: ```auto /Applications/OpenMV IDE.app/Contents/Resources/blhost/mac/blhost -u 0x15A2,0x0073 -- get-property 1 ``` ---
