Solved - Dead duet wifi board???

Where you have soldered the resistor to the TCK pin, are you sure that it isn't shorted to an adjacent pad?

Yes, I've checked twice. No short to the adjacent pad.

Do you definitely have continuity between VSSA and GND, through the PTC fuse that you added? A few ohms resistance is normal. The PTC fuse may take a while to recover after you soldered it.

EDIT: to determine the board revision, the firmware enables the internal pullup resistor (value about 100k) on the TCK pin and then reads the input level on that pin. If it reads high then the firmware assumes that nothing is connected to that pin and the board revision is 1.0 or 1.01. If it reads low (because of the 10k resistor pulling it down to VSSA) then it assumes a 1.02 or later board.

Yes, I have continuity between VSSA and GND. The resistance through the PTC fuse in 1.9ohm.

It is normal to have continuity between the VSSA and TCK?

Only via the 10K resistor that you added.

Oops... I have continuity even without the resistor... But it's printing

Any clues about what may be causing the short?

[dc42]

As TCK is right next to GND on the 2x5 pads where you connected the resistor, a solder bridge between those pads is the most likely explanation.

finally figured out!

i've followed the instructions on the wiki page https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connector_and_spare_part_numbers#VSSA_fuse for bypassing the fuse and add the 10K resistor, and solderd by this image on the wiki:

But!!! that picture is wrong!!!! the resistor is NOT going to the TCK, is connected to ground, as my board recently. The pad to the left is the TCK pad!

how do i know?

The proof...

So now my board is not dead, but upgraded!

The processor swap was relatively easy. if anyone wants more details, i've made a video of the process.

You are right, the labels next to the 2x5 pad array are wrong. The two columns should be swapped.

And the wiki should be updated

[dc42]

I already did that.

Thank you for all the help!
