USB Doongle connected but not feeding

[mikelsen]

I have recently bought a USB Doongle (NESDR Mini 2+) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/NESDR-Mini-...4728379&sr=8-6). I have installed everything as per manuals and it was feeding correctly for a few hours yesterday but suddenly sttoped.

I have no idea why is not working anymore. Checking the healthy of the Doongle it says the following:

Any idea what is happening?

many thanks

Probably wedged (power issues caused by USB extension or not a good enough PSU)

Remove it, re-insert and re-run

If it finds the 820T2 again, that's the likely cause


Or the tuner has just died

Thanks for your reply. I will try again to remove it and re insert again, but actually I have done it a few times.I'm starting to think that the tuner have died which is frustrating as it was working just for 2 hours.

I will also reinstall raspbian and the feeders/dumpers again just in case

Take out any USB cables (plug in direct) and make sure its a 2A+ Power supply too during testing. 2 step process powering the bits inside
