Arduino Uno Programmer Not Responding

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

Hello, I bought the arduino uno starter kit SMD and would like to start my learning. However, after several days, it seems I unable to upload it to the board. I did identified it as clone the previous days and have installed the CH340v3.4 driver (tried the latest 3.8). My Arduino IDE is 1.8.8, I've tried using the latest 2.x Arduino IDE does not work either. I pressed the reset button on Arduino Uno boards and the light blink several times but still getting the same error as below. I did several forced upload but it still giving the same error. I've checked my port and board with the default programmer mode: AVRISP mkII. I've also tried using different cables but none of them work and giving the same error as below. Does anyone have recommendation for solution?

Error from console:

I can't stop it as it went in a loop. The only thing i can stop it is close the IDE or unplugged the board.

Reportedly, some of the colones have problems. I had to discard few. If you plan to buy a new one, then get the following type with 28-pin socketized ATmega328P MCU.

Yeah I think I bought the SMD version one unlike the DIP version as shown by your picture. I saw a thread regarding SMD vs DIP in which they work the same but the SMD clone one had so much trouble: Arduino UNO DIP vs Arduino UNO SMD - #9 by Mohibkhan. Well, I think i will consider purchasing the DIP version one but still hope the SMD works :smiling_face_with_tear:

Hi @mark_les20. I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from an upload attempt.

:exclamation: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "Preferences" dialog will open.
  2. Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compile in the "Preferences" dialog.
  3. Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
  4. Click the "OK" button.
    The "Preferences" dialog will close.
  5. Attempt an upload, as you did before.
  6. Wait for the upload to fail.
  7. You will see an "Upload error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the "COPY ERROR MESSAGES" button on that notification.
  8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  9. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block icon on toolbar
  10. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
  11. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  12. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.
