When and where did you purchase the Duet?

@alankilian
yes i have a multimeter, but dont undersoot where to messure

at the expansion connector
between 1-2 -> 4.5V
between 3-2 -> 0,2V

Put the ground probe on pin #4

What is the voltage at pin #1? It should be 5.0 Volts.
What is the voltage at pin #3? It should be 3.3 Volts.

If you get zero volts at pin #3 you should disconnect EVERYTHING on the board and measure the resistance from Pin #4 and pin #3.

If you get a resistance of near zero Ohms, something on the board is shorted.

From experience here on the forums, I would theorize that while your printer was powered up, something caused a short on the 3.3 Volt supply and the voltage regulator U2 failed. This can be caused (depending on your wiring) when an endstop wiring bundle gets worn or pinched etc.

If you are capable of replacing U2, you might be able to get it going again.

@gabit another quick check is to power up the board (either from USB or VIN) and see if anything is getting hot, in particular the 3.3V regulator already illustrated, the SD card socket (if you haven't removed the SD card), the chip on the Ethernet daughter board, and the main processor.

@alankilian thanks a lot for the picture and descpription
4-1 : 5V
4-3 : 0.2V
between 3-4 0.2 Ohm
between 1-4 620 Ohm
Everything removed, i can see anythings which can be create a short
The machine was alone in the cellar and was not at endstop, all wires are correct

@dc42 the only thing which is getting hot is the u2 Chip

i removed the ethernet-platine, now the green 3.3 V led light and i have 3 Volt at pin 3
the ethernet platin looks well good

OH! That's a great experiment.

HERE'S the schematic for the Ethernet module.

Maybe you can look at the connector and the three capacitors that are connected to the 3.3 Volt input.

Also, measure the resistance from ground to the 3.3 Volt input on the connector.

Also, maybe @dc42 has some more experience with this module and can help.

@alankilian all looks fine, i have the same resistance between gnd and 3,3 volt.
Is it possible to get a new one, i have network connection problems since i got the duet
