+  1. Disconnect and reconnect your board to reset its power.
+  1. Check for any system notifications that may prompt you to grant USB device permissions, and allow them if they appear.

+A common reason for a board not being detected is an issue with the USB connection. Follow the instructions below to ensure a proper setup:
 
 * *Use a Data USB Cable*: Connect your board with a data USB cable, not a charging-only cable.
-* *Test the USB Cable*: Check that the USB cable is not damaged. You can verify this by testing the cable with another device or by trying a different cable.
-* *Connect directly*: connect the board directly into your computer instead of through a USB hub.
-* *Try a Different USB Port*: If the board is still not detected, connect it to a different USB port on your computer.
-* *Check power*: Verify that your device powers on—at least one LED should be lit.
