Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
Success! Removal of the FM9688 and adding the jumper did the trick. The nVNA starts up every time. I'm using an external battery pack with it. Thanks! --Al

Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
You can try to remove the FM9688 first in order to confirm if it is caused by a fault in the FM9688.

Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
Hugen, thank you for your reply. Do you think it's worth trying to replace the FM9688 IC? I have some experience and equipment to work on SMD and that chip has enough spacing of its leads to make it

Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but all I get is a more dramatic flickering of the display at a slower rate. --Al

Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
It looks like the power IC is malfunctioning, so if you are willing to work without the battery, try removing the FM9688 and shorting pin4 and pin8 of the FM9688 location on the PCB.

Re: nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
Try disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the USB cable, powering it on to discharge any caps, and then boot it with just the USB as power supply? Battery might be getting soft... 73, Willie N1JBJ

nanoVNA-H no boot screen flickers then black
Hello all, I'd had this nanoVNA-H for a few years, h/w v.3.4, and it's had this startup trouble for a long time. At power on, the screen lights up, a blank screen flickers as if trying to boot and

Re: PC Boards for QEX Step Attenuator Available
Hi Miro, Yes, you need 2 jumpers to engage a section, but only 1 to bypass it. It is more convenient to keep the 2 jumpers together, this way you switch the section with a single motion of turning the

Re: PC Boards for QEX Step Attenuator Available
Nicely done Mike! Just a quick question - why do you need "dual" jumpers? Would it work if you have a single jumper per attenuator, so either you have attenuator engaged (jumper off) or shorted
