MCIMX93 Board Not Powering On After Boot Switch Change

[Masoud]

Hi,
I recently changed the SW1301 boot switch to set the MCIMX93 board to boot from the MicroSD card. I am not certain if I made this change before powering the board off. Unfortunately, since making this change, the board no longer powers up—none of the LEDs turn on, even after reverting the switch to its default position and waiting several minutes. It appears the board is not responding or is completely dead.

Could you please advise on troubleshooting steps or let me know how I should proceed to recover the board?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @Masoud,

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

Changing the boot switches should not affect the board’s behavior, even if it is powered on, since these switches are connected to GPIOs.

To rule out a power supply issue, I recommend trying a different power source. If the power supply is functioning correctly, a red LED should turn on. Additionally, if the PMIC is operating properly, a green LED should also be illuminated. Please refer to the attached image for the location of these LEDs.

If neither LED is on, check whether any component is getting unusually hot. If no overheating is detected, try measuring continuity on the power switch SW301 to ensure it is working properly.
If you're unable to identify the issue after these steps, please contact the distributor from whom you purchased the board to request warranty support.

Best regards,

Chavira
