Greatfet one seems to be DOA

Post by kergadon »

I just got a greatfet one in the mail, but it seems to be doa,
The 5v and 3.3v rails show power but it doesn't show up in windows device manager at all.
I assume when its plugged in as is traditional something should at least blink if it is working?

You probably need to install various drivers... see

So I've tried setting up the drivers and even tried 3 different systems nothing seems to see the board at all. I'd like to get a replacement but the "damaged product" support page tells me to post here.

"Check your GreatFET One

Once connected, your GreatFET One should start to slowly flash LED1, indicating that it is operating. "

Yep, nothing comes up at all. No lights nothing, power supply seems to work but the main chip seems to be dead
