I can't seem to get it to recognize the board. No idea what happened or how I fix it.

SimpleIDE Version 0.9.64

    Welcome to the forums!

    Are you selecting to correct COM Port in the upper right hand drop down box? This has bitten me before.

    Nope the box says COM 3. My fear is that chip is dead. I work a lot overseas and decided to take my activitybot with me to give me something to do at night. I put it in my luggage. The electronic bag that it was in either came undone or the board was removed by customs. I am not sure if it went through xray etc.

    I've taken propellers through airport x-ray many times and have never had a problem...

    I'd try a different computer and/or Propeller Tool and see if you can get it talking...

    Instead of using SimpleIDE, try the Propeller Tool to see if it can locate and connect to your board. That way, you'll know whether it's a hardware or software problem.

    I have this problem ALOT with my Netbook. Have you tried a different USB cable or maybe just holding the cable in firmly?

    I get this a lot as well, but usually it is because I am not using the correct USB port. Have you tried all of the USB ports on your computer?

    You've verified the board is showing as COM3 port in Device Manager, and not some other port?
    My computer, right now, has 3 COM ports connected / active, none of which are Prop's, and they all show in SimpleIDE's drop down box, top right.
