I purchased a Go several months ago and built a couple of little test apps for the display and relay. Was working just fine. Now, just yesterday, I picked it up again and plugged it in - all 8 blue LEDs light, along with the white power LED, and that's as far as it gets... no contact on USB in MFDeploy (also, no nice beep as the USB driver recognizes something). Any suggestions? of note, before I tried to plug it in, I updated the GHI NetMF to 4.2 (removed older 4.2, installed GHI version) - not sure if that has anything to do with it - the GO drivers appear to be present still (MFUsb_Netduino.sys) - haven't tried to update them. other random info: running windows 7 ultimate (64bit) under VMWare Fusion (Version 4.1.3 (730298)) on MacPro1,1, 3 Gb RAM allocated to VM (out of 10).

Hi hhoover, Welcome to the Netduino community. Let's help get you back up and running... If the blue LEDs all stay on, that indicates that the Netduino Go is having trouble booting completely. This could be related to the drivers or the newer NETMF SDK, but that's less likely. Try removing and reinstalling the Netduino Go 4.2 SDK. The NETMF SDK uninstalled can tears out installer files from other NETMF installers by accident. If that doesn't work, we can try to put the Netduino Go mainboard in bootloader mode and erase and reflash it. Before any of that though, be sure to reboot your computer and then look in Device Manager and see if anything happens when you plug in your Netduino Go... Chris
