Hello, good day, question, I bought an Arduino Uno according to the original board, I connect it to the PC, I open a new window (sketch), I create the program and it runs fine, without errors, I load the program to the Arduino card, but it does not work. The LED # 13 power-on function turns on the TX and RX LEDs for one second. I need to download some program to make it work or is the board bad?

What "runs fine" and what "does not work?"

You can use the IDE built-in examples:

IDE \>\> FILE \>\> EXAMPLES \>\> BUILT-IN EXAMPLES \>\> 01 BASICS ... 02 DIGITAL... 03 ANALOG... select a sketch

After the program is loaded in a new window, you can press CTRL-U to UPLOAD (or press the -\> arrow) to upload and run your sketch.

LED #13 is only a representation of the state of Digital I/O pin 13.

> [@danlee24](#):

> TX and RX LEDs

TX and RX only show when Serial Communication is happening (uploading a sketch or printing to Serial Monitor)

Try to copy, paste and upload this sketch...

```arduino
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("Hello, Tree!");
}

void loop() { /* empty */}

```

Do you see the words "Hello, Tree!" in your Serial Monitor?

How do you know?

So how did you get it to work the first time?

Go to files and under examples download the blink program and change time etc and see if you can get that to work. It sounds like you are having cockpit problems.
