Question

NUCLEO-G474RE, LD1 solid red while LD3 not lit up

I was performing a firmware update to my board when the board lost connection to my computer. Ever since then I have been unable to connect to the board. I tried going through STM32CubeProgrammer to perform a connect under reset, which just says "Error: Problem occurred while trying to connect". I have also attempted to hold the reset button while performing a full chip erase but I receive an error: must connect before performing action. I have all my jumpers in the correct place and even tried jumping BOOT0 while performing the connect under reset. I would love some help from someone who has possibly been through this before, thank you.

    Here is also a view of my Programmer while I try the connect under reset. I read that the 0V is an issue but I am lost on what to do next. I am using the most recent version of Programmer available for Mac.Screenshot 2025-09-09 at 6.36.15 PM.png

    LD3 not lit indicates no 5 V power. LD1 solid red indicates the ST-Link connected okay.

    Is the JP5 jumper present?

    Recovery would be to hold BOOT0 high (to 3.3V) while pressing the reset. That should let you connect, unless there's a hardware failure.

    What does/did the firmware on it do?

    Don't place on conductive surface.

    User the schematic to probe around and find out where 5 V power is getting stopped. Probably the USB power is coming in okay if LD1 is on.

    Can you check power supply of the board?

    Maybe you can try with different usb cable.

    Indeed.

    @Viking72 also try a different Host USB port - there may be an issue with insufficient power from the Host; eg,

    As @TDK  suggested, your Target has no power:
