In my device manager menu in the port section it says "USB Serial Port (COM 5)" does this mean the UBS cable I am using is only meant for charging?
Hi @chrisgia. Please add a reply here on this forum thread to tell us which Arduino board you are using.
Please be as specific as possible as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used.
If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.
Not necessarily. If your USB cable is charge only, you won't see any new device in Device Manager after you connect the board to your computer.
I am using an Arduino Nano (classic). The microcontroller is on brand and not a knockoff either
A program called a "bootloader" is stored in a special area of memory in the Nano board's microcontroller. The classic Nano (as well as its 3rd party derivatives) have been manufactured with two different types of bootloader installed.
You must configure the Tools > Processor menu in Arduino IDE according to which bootloader is installed on your Nano. Having the incorrect configuration selected in this menu is one of the potential causes of uploads failing with the "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" error.
The official Nano boards manufactured after 2017 have the modern bootloader installed.
I can see from the verbose upload output that you have Arduino IDE configured for use with the Nano boards with the "old bootloader".
Select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P from the Arduino IDE menus to configure it for use with the modern bootloader and then try uploading again.
Hopefully this time the upload will finish successfully.
This did not fix my issue. I've tried every processor and have tried to burn the bootloader but to no avail either. It just keeps giving me "exit status 1"

Please try this experiment and then report back with the results:
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
- Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
- Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".
Now please reply here on the forum thread with the answer to the following question:
- Did you see the "L" LED blink multiple times quickly immediately after you released the "RESET" button?
No it does not. The on light is always on and the RX light blinks from time to time
Never mind. It seems like the "RX" button likes to go off whenever I try uploading code. Nothing happens when I press the reset button
When I hook up wires to pins for "vin" and "rst" with an LED the LED turns on when I press the reset button.
This result tells us that one of the following two things is happening:
- The microcontroller on the board is not running.
- The bootloader (a program stored in a special area of memory in the microcontroller that handles sketch uploads) was somehow erased or corrupted.
It is possible for a short or external circuitry connected to the Arduino board to prevent the primary microcontroller from running.
Make sure the board is not sitting on anything conductive that could short the contacts on the bottom of the board. Make sure there isn't any conductive debris (e.g., strands of wire or component leads) on the board or on the surface the board is sitting on.
If you have a shield or any external circuitry or components connected to your Arduino board, try this experiment:
- Disconnect the USB cable of the Arduino board from your computer.
- Disconnect any shields, modules, external circuitry, etc. from your board.
- Connect the Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.
Now try uploading a sketch to the board again. Does the upload succeed?
This experiment will determine whether the upload error was caused by a problem in the external circuitry. If so, you can then focus your attention on identifying the specific problem with the circuit and resolving it.
