Hi guys, I am running windows 7 and recently had a hard drive failure so i've reloaded most of my stuff onto a new hard drive.
I cannot get my nanos (5) to work. In device manager is says no driver for usb serial 2.0. I have searched with no luck. I've gone to samsungs website and updated all my drivers. I've un-installed and re-installed arduino. I also have a mega and uno and work fine. I have 5 nanos none of them are connecting. Any help would be great please. I've spent waaaaay to long on this and and very frustrated.
Look at the backside of your Nanos.
I suspect you bought clones and either the USB communication chips are CH340 types or FTDI type.
Normally the most current versions of Windows support FTDI without having to install a special driver (although Microsoft and FTDI have issued OS patches which can identify counterfeit FTDI chips and will block them).
Hope you will find CH340. Those just need a special driver for any OS.
Then let us know what you found.

Spot on mate. I got the magnifying glass out and sure enough it's a CH340. You beauty. Thank you so much. I'm stoked and have learnt another thing today. You rock.
