Hi, Not Im sure whats up with my Adafruit Gemma. Previously Gemma would be picked up by my computer and the computer would make a connection sound, and the Gemma would be flashing its red light. But some how its stop flashing, the red light stays very dim, and no long shows up on my device manager. Any Ideas?
Windows 7 64 Bit
Arduino IDE 1.0.5

Hi Rick,
Nothing Happens, the light goes off when I press it, but returns dim when I let go of the reset button.

I'm seeing nearly the same behavior with my Gemma. It was working, and just randomly stopped. Now the red LED stays lit dimly as in the video, but there is a very subtle blinking when I press the reset button (as if the bootloader is working, but I can't actually get the IDE to program the board).
I have tried connecting it to a battery, cycling the on/off switch, etc. with no improvement.

Have you tried repairing the bootloader? https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... bootloader

I don't have an Uno, but I do have a redboard, I will try with that.
