Is there a way to do a "factory reset" to the mbed? It was working fine, but now, when I plug it to the pc, it won't show the drive. The status led is on, and the leds are running as the last program I loaded is suposed to.

Since I can't access the drive,is there a way to clean the flash memory ?

Press and hold down the reset button and connect the USB. This will stop any program you may have uploaded and the drive should appear on the PC, where you can clean or format it.

thanks for the quick reply.

That solution isn't working. Already tried also with other usb cables, since some have had problems with the cable.

Hi Sergio,

Have you tried the troubleshooting at http://mbed.org/cookbook/deadmbed ?

Yes I didi, Dan. It was the 1st steps before searching the forum for tips.

Hi Sergio,

Assuming you are still having problems, and holding down the reset button while plugging in or trying a different PC doesn't work, drop us a line at support@mbed.org and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks,

Simon

Simon, do you know how long it usually takes to receive an answer ? I sent the mail a few days ago and haven't received any response.

thanks

Hi Sergio,

I'll chase it for you. Sorry for the delay...
