Thread: Vas5054a USB not showing up on device manager 

Hello.

I have brought a vas5054a cable with ok cool, good board and good Bluetooth.

The problem is that I tried to connect it over Bluetooth, which I was able to in the manager. Then I opened odis and would try diagnostics but odis could not find the interface

So I would try with USB. But when I turn off Bluetooth and plug in the USB, then nothing happens. I have also tried on Linux and it does not seem like the interface gets an connection to the computer at all.

I have tried different USB cables and I have looked on the PCB, but everything looks ok.

What can it be?

Rely: you have to re-identify ur interface by odis it self in diagnostic option to the right side column when you wanna change the connection.
