Are you getting 3.3V, 1.8V or 1.2V anywhere on the board or out of the LPC3154 at the TP's (test points)?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Either way, i would start with input diodes, check you are actually getting 5V to the LPC3154 power input.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Jun 2016 01:37:42 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/LPCXpresso-IDE/Dead-LPCxpreso-Boards/m-p/528950#M1226 lpcware 2016-06-16T01:37:42Z
