I have just tried to update the firmware in my V2 Plus 4 to the latest version (20220814) using VNA_QT in Windows 11. The VNA showed up as COM7 in QT and I pointed to my downloaded firmware bin file and started the process. My VNA screen went completely white and it is unresponsive. I have tried turning it on again whilst pressing the left hand button but this has no effect. The VNA no longer shows up in QT. Win11 Device Manager - Universal Serial Bus Controllers - reports "Unknown USB Device (Device descriptor request failed)"
Is there a way of forcing a hard reset into DFU mode? On the back of the LCD board, along the connector strip, there is the word "TOUCH" and white lines pointing to T_IRQ and T_CLK. I wonder if this is used to produce a hardware reset but I want to be sure before causing further problems :-(
Any help gratefully received, thanks., Russ
Beware of cheap underperforming clones
As of 2023 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.
See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.
