Found the Diodes on Ebay: 25 of them for $2.70 shipped, out the door cost.
So if you need one contact me and I'd be glad to mail you one or two if you pay the $0.44 postage. I only needed 1 of them.

Here is my completed repair picture, the chip is working awesome and is once again protected from stupidity (To an extent) smiley

Yep that was EXACTLY it!
Pulled that Diode made a tiny jumper and my unit is back online via USB power like it never happened.
I may order another diode for it on my next order with Mouser, I just dont want to have to pay shipping for that dumb $0.20 part.

But for now I'm back in action, and I will try not to do anything stupid until I have that diode replaced.


Here is the pic of my repair for others that run into this issue...
PS: This is V3.0 Nano

Yep same stupid move lastnight! Thought my unit was toast.
Went a googling, and found this thread, sure enough if you supply 5VDC on the VCC pin this chip is fine and I can even program via USB but it just won't power off USB anymore.

Going to go look at the diode you guys are talking about and see if I can jump it or replace it, thanks a TON! Imense help!!!

And yes I'd say that diode is a tad touchy and needs a replacment product on v4
