Qwiic Micro (SAMD21E) not powering Qwiic breakouts

Hi,

Thanks for your support.

I just received a new SAMD Micro and I’ve tried a few Qwiic breakouts, but I’m not seeing the power LED come on when plugging them into the SAMD board.

Tried multiple cables and the same breakouts against other Qwiic enabled micros, and all behave as suspected.

Soldered headers on the board, but all looks pretty clean.

Any ideas?

Found the problem. Looked inside the Qwiic connector and the ground pin is bent against the side of the housing. Unsure how that happens, when the cables are keyed. Suspect it was shipped to me defective. Worked with some tweezers for about 10 minutes to try to straighten it out, but no luck.

Is it possible to exchange it for a non-defective unit?
