Hello, I bought a ESP32-S3 a few days ago and I am having trouble with it. When I first got it, it visibly appeared fine. When I first plugged it in, it appeared to receive power from my PC. One thing I have noticed that the built in LED that changes color, it shined the first time I powered it on but it does not shine anymore when I provide power. I have been attempting to do a basic hello world. The reconnect and disconnect issue seems to stop when I hold down the boot button during power up. But when I am in this state, my serial monitor never outputs the “hello world” if I manage to get the serial monitor to run with no errors. Any suggestions? I kind of think the board could just be bad.
Sorry this got overlooked! What settings do you have selected for the board’s upload?
Which sketch are you trying to upload? Does the regular ‘blink’ example work?
