Arduino NANO 33 IoT Nina module not working

Official Hardware Nano Family Nano 33 IoT

Hi!
After some time of using NANO 33 IoT Wifi and BLE module seems not to work. BLE.begin() fails and WiFi.status() returns WL_NO_MODULE code.

Did anyone encountered such problem? Can I fix it someway or the board got broken?

In order to make all the relevant information accessible to all interested parties, I'll also post a link to @asiemasz1's report of same on GitHub:

@asiemasz1 please try updating the NINA firmware to the latest version. You'll need to use the hourly build of the Arduino IDE to get it. You can download that here:

After that, just follow the standard process using the hourly build of the IDE:

Hi,
I got Error "Programmer not responding"
(I loaded FirmwareUpdater sketch on the board).

Is that the complete and exact text of the error message? If not, please post the full text.

"Programmer not responding
Make sure that FirmwareUpdater sketch is loaded on the board"
Also, the ESP32BootROM.begin(921600) returns 0.

I see in the bug report on GitHub you said:

Yesterday everything worked fine.

Did you update any software between the time it was working and when it was not working. By "software", I mean:

  • Arduino IDE
  • "Arduino SAMD (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) Boards" platform via the Arduino IDE's Boards Manager
  • WiFiNINA library via the Arduino IDE's Library Manager

No. As far as I remember it was just connected to external charger and suddenly my phone stopped detecting it (via Bluetooth). I have two other boards (same) with the same code and they're working correctly.

OK, then this indicates there was physical damage to your Nano 33 IoT, rather than a software problem. An occasional "magic smoke incident" is an inevitable part of having fun with Arduino. I always like to make sure I have at least one spare of every part I'm working with to make sure my progress won't be interrupted when this happens to me. It sounds like you have the same strategy!

But was that bc of external charger? From what I read maximum input voltage is 21 V, and my externa charger has 12 V on output...

Hi. Another 33 IoT stopped working, just the same way... Any ideas on how to handle it?
