Unable to communicate/upload bootloader arduino nano

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi all,

I had some trouble withe writing some new code to my arduino nano. Last week i have put some code on it and it still runs that code.

I got this next wel known message back telling me:
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

So i tired all the solutions i could find online and there are a lot.

In the end i thought what if i just try cleaning it up uploading a bootloader on it. Following this awesome guide here i have done this 4 times successfully already with my barebones so why not on the nano too.

However when i try the Board Detector Output i get the error message telling me to check if my wiring is correct. The precise same wiring does work on a fresh arduino, i get the whole message that i need to get.

So, my question is, are there any other options i can try? Any other obvious things? Or is my board just broken somehow? Strange since it still runs the last code and i uploaded that e couple of days ago.

I hope any of you have any idea to help me out here.

If there is more info needed please let me know what you need to know.

Well, i swapped the arduino's out so i could finish my project. Came back tp your answer and went to get the broken one to plug it in my laptop and copy the error code.

Looking at the underside of the "not working" one i saw a little piece of solder on the CH34g chip shorting out two pins. It was laying on there fairly loose, so just a wipe with my fingers and it was gone. And, guess what when connected to laptop now it does work.

So this topic can be closed it's solved.
