Nanos, cheap clones, label just 'Nano'. I think USB socket is C type. ![IMG_1506](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/f/c/3/fc3a356610bcf868b4fb56510eb96dfabeb931bb.jpeg) (Although doesn't look exactly the same as those I viewed on web.) Green LED lit, red LED flashes at something under 1 Hz.. Uploading any sketch by the usual method gives "An error occurred while uploading the sketch".

An error occurred while uploading the sketch ``` Using a Uno as ISP, via the ISP terminals, uploading with 'Upload using programer' gives "avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature." Selecting the 'Old Bootloader' board option gave same summary message. Reverted to the ATmega328P board option. But strangely, using the normal 'Upload ', **appeared** to do so without error. However it failed to run any sketch. Whether powered via the Uno, the Nano USB cable, or external power to 5V. ---

Start with the blink sketch and change the delay times by a significant time and see if it works when uploaded. If it does then do a serial.begin and then serial.print hello. ---

Do you have a link to what you bought? Did it come with the cable that you showed? > [@Terrypin](#): > > Using a Uno as ISP, via the ISP terminals, uploading with 'Upload using programer' gives > "avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature." What does it report for the signature? Is the processor indeed a 328P? What is the serial-to-usb converter on the board (chip at the bottom of the board)? Please enable _verbose output during upload_ and disable _verbose output during compilation_ and perform a normal upload. Post the results here. ---

Let me troubleshoot: - Are you using a USB data cable, or just a charging one? Remember, USB charging cables do not transfer data, so use a data one. - Have you installed the CH340 drivers? Since your boards are clones and you're on Windows, you have to install the CH340 drivers, because Arduino Nano clones are interfaced with a CH340G chip. - Have you selected the old bootloader? If not, select it. - Is there anything connected to `RX` & `TX` pins? If there is, disconnect it first, then upload your code. That's all I can provide to you now... ---

Pleased to report a happy ending. 🙂 Turns out that four of these five cheap AliExpress Nano clones (actually 'compatibles' if I believe the advert) work correctly. So you can guess which one I opened first and spent much of yesterday struggling with! This morning I tested all five and regret that I didn’t do so at the start. Of course, I can't even be sure that the first one was faulty. Perhaps I damaged it in my early tests. But assuming not, I'm still keen to pursue any further steps before binning it. Answering questions raised by @sterretje, @amirreza_ipchi-e-haq and @b707 Screenshot from purchase link: ![ALI_Nanos_Purchase](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/0/9/8/0987c388db9dbd54d6bba5dfe23e02abab0ce876.jpeg) Cable (an unrelated purchase, 3 metres long) is a data type. Photo of Nano and cable: ![IMG_1515](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/2/4/c/24c0841fe2059a4242f7d4fc92d32197fdf362dd.jpeg) Signature? Using Arduino as ISP I do not today seem to be getting the same result as previously. I get 'Uploading...' but the progress bar immediately turns solid green and if I have the patience to leave it for several minutes I eventually get this, not the 'Yikes!' message. Thanks for all the help, which I’ve filed for future Nano trouble shooting.

> [@b707](#): > > I never seen Nano clones with USB C, Could you provide a photo and link to the seller? Try Aliexpress they have many vendors selling with the USB C connector. In many cases they are less expensive. I have about 20 of them and only had problems with one, it was the cable i got from the box store. ---
