I bought a kit and started using the components to build an alarm clock lamp.
I was not paying attention and I think I ran 12volts thew the arduino. I seen sparks assumed fryed.
TODAY acquired 3 arduino nanos. set one of them up so it would connect to the project. then went to upload it failed troubleshooted as per https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload nothing. opened the other 2 arduinos plugged them in again same nothing uploaded. then i attempted to send gibrish threw panel "jjjjjj" and other random things and i was able to get the receiving light to light up.

used arduino create firefox windows 7 and 10 used 7 first thought may have been operating system same error
error info made from fresh attempt at time of post program attempted upload blink
