Feather TFT not booting/detected

Post by exercisingchicken »

Hey team
I recently purchased an ESP32-S2 TFT from a UK Supplier.
After booting up it is not behaving as expected.
The charge light flashes briefly when first powered (when powered by PC USB and Power) but no screen and no USB detection on PC.
Have tried multiple USB cables and power sources but no luck.
I know the cables work as other ESP boards are accessible.
Have tried the reset instructions on the Adafruit website however still not working, It also wont show up on the PC as a port.
Any thing I can do to get it working?

Sounds DOA. You need to contact the supplier you got it from for a replacement. If it had been direct from Adafruit I'd auth a replacement. You can show him this post to back your request.

Thanks Dave,
Contacted the supplier originally and they suggested I contact the Forum here first before they would issue a return.
Have sent them a screenshot of the reply you posted and will check in tomorrow if they have agreed to replace.
Thanks for the quick reply.
