Hi,

    I use Nucleo-H753ZI.

    I am using STM32CubeProgrammer. to debug mt ST_LINK, which stopped working.
    I read Voltage = 0, ID can't be read out. 
    How to fix it?   Thanks

Hi,

target at 0V , no power. 

So check, what you did...or "happened" ... is board powered? (no) Jumpers all there ? and have contact - check.

Anything connected to board ? remove it. check for short power-gnd.  (3v3 --- gnd)

Review the schematics, see CAD Resources tab on product page.

Trace power connectivity from ST-LINK USB to the MCU and point on card where the STM32F103 checks the voltage. 

Evaluate what you did with the board. Don't place on conductive surfaces. Watch for external electronics you've attached.

Just to be clear: is that the built-in ST-Link, or an external one?

What makes you think that is due to a faulty ST-Link?

As the others suggested, have you checked that the the supply voltage is actually present, and that it's reaching the ST-Link?

Many Nucleo boards have various power supply options, some of which render the ST-Link unusable. Check the User Manual for details.

If the ST-Link can't see any power on the board, it won't be able to do anything with the Target!
