Connection Troubleshooting-Device Not Detected

If the firmware updater cannot detect your device, please follow the steps below before retrying:

Step

Action Details

1

Switch USB port and cable Try a different USB port or cable. A faulty cable or port is one of the most common causes of detection failure.

2

Unplug all other USB devices Disconnect other USB devices from your computer. This eliminates potential conflicts that may prevent the firmware updater from detecting your Spark.

3

Avoid using a USB hub Connect the Spark directly to your computer's USB port rather than through a USB hub. A direct connection ensures a more stable and reliable signal.

4

Switch to another computer If possible, try connecting the Spark to a different Mac or Windows computer. This helps determine whether the issue is specific to your current setup.
