i bought an arduino clone board from ali express after installing all the drivers (i think mybe i havent and thats the problem) on the device manager it shows up as a com port as a usb serial port it shows up on the arduino ide but when i try to upload any code it says avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude done. Thank you.
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1(you can see on the picture)
Do you receive a "device inserted tone" when you insert your Uno on a USB cable?
yes
"Clone" - I just re-read that.
Have you installed the CH340 driver?

It's Not a driver issue.
When you plug the clone into a USB port, does the L LED blink 3 or 4 times real fast?
If not, then either the bootloader is missing or the microcontroller is not running.
i have
it does blink
Do you have anything connected to the board?
no its not connected to anything
Did you try nano and old bootloader?
i tried but it shows the exact same problem
Which version of windows are you using?
Please do not post screenshots of errors. Please enable verbose output during upload and disable verbose output during compilation. Perform an upload and post the full output of the failed upload using code tags (you can use the <kbd<<CODE/> button for that).
Does COM11 disappear when you disconnect the board?
Does Windows device manager show the device (without yellow triangles)?
There are two types of blink. The first one is a couple of quick flashes after pressing and releasing the reset button, the second one is 1 second on, 1 second off. The question was if you did see the former and your answer does not make that 100% clear.
Huh?
Is it the same board?
Fixed it. Thanks.
Windows10
No its a different board
How about the information requested in post #14?
