Error message on Arduino Nano

Development Tools Uploading

Hello, I'm really new to Arduino so I don't know much about it, but I've been getting this error message for my Arduino Nano and I can't seem to find any solutions. I've tried using different programmers, and checked if I had the wrong port. Can somebody help me out?

avrdude done.  Thank you.



Problem uploading to board.  See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

Your USB port fell asleep. Wake it up with TOOLS >> PORT >> your port, TOOLS >> BOARD >> your board, and if you are using an older NANO, TOOLS >> PROCESSOR >> OLD BOOTLOADER.

Possible causes of this error are explained in this LINK.
Greetings.

This is the most likely cause, in the IDE under Tools, try Tools > Processor: "Atmega328P (Old Bootloader)". If that is already set, then try Tools > Processor: "Atmega328P". There is also an option for Processor: "Atmega168", but that is fairly rare.

Yeah I tried using the old bootloader and I checked that I had the right board, yet it still isn't working
I also checked that I had the right port, but I only have one of them

That is no guarantee that it is the right port. Your computer might have ports that are unrelated to the Nano. If you don't know which port is your Arduino board, you can find it by doing this:

  1. Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
  2. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus.
  3. Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
  4. Close the Tools menu.
    The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
  5. Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
  6. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus. - The new port listed in the menu is the one for your Arduino board.

If no new port appears after you follow that procedure, then that problem must be resolved before you will have any hope of accomplishing an upload. We can provide assistance if this is the case.

I did the steps like you told me to, and my only port that I'm using and was reconnected was COM6, which was the one I was already using

Do you have an official Arduino branded Nano, or a clone? Are you certain it is a classic Nano (atmega328 processor) and not a Nano Every, or one of the Nano 33 types?
