Busted usb C port on my arduino nano esp32

Hi, my nano esp32 wont connect to the IDE for me to upload a code onto it. i tried it with different cords and different computers all with up to date drivers ect. at this point im assuming I bust the C port on it. But the arduino still turns on and lights up when its plugged into the computer through the C port with a USB cable. it just wont communicate withe the IDE no matter what I do. I there another way i can connect it to my computer to program it or am out of luck?

Check the documentation, you need to reset the board.

You need to find the documentation on the arduino.cc site where it tells you have to put the board in esp32 mode.

if the c port is busted but the esp32 still powers on u can try using an external usb to ttl adapter to connect via tx rx pins otherwise u might need a new board
