Static electricity discharge in reset button killed DE10?

Unread post by arago »

Hello everyone! I think that my DE10 Nano is partially broken and was hoping to identify the source of the problem and fix it if possible.

TL;DR:
  • I felt a small static electricity discharge when pressing the IOBoard reset button. After that MiSTer didn't work anymore.
  • After debugging and checking a lot of things, I think that the reset button in the DE10 Nano board is (electrically) pressed all the time.
  • Can you think of a way of fixing, disabling, or testing the theory of the shorted reset button?
  • A new DE10 board is on the way, but I am afraid of plugging it to the IOBoard, do you think it is safe?
My current setup is composed of a DE10 Nano board (from Amazon), a 128MB RAM module and a IO Board 6.1 (both from MisterAddons). Everything has worked perfectly fine for the last 5 months or so, playing NeoGeo, SNES, NES, MD, ao486, etc. I’ve been waiting for purchasing a good case (the aluminum one looks great), but it is very hard to get one shipped to my country in COVID-19 times (and expensive). I asked for a local guy here in Argentina to print the MiSTer - Case Universal v5.2, but looks like the quality of the printer was not very good because the holes didn’t match with the DE10 screws.

The DE10 Nano has been sitting in my desk and connected to my PC monitor for this time, but I wanted to try it out on my main 50' Samsung TV. I was playing for an hour or so when I get out of my couch and press the reset button in the IO Board. At that moment, I felt an electrical discharge in my finger (a small kick) and suddenly the screen turned off and never came back.

At first sight, I though that the HDMI output was dead. I disconnected the power and connected the MiSTer again but without luck, the image was gone. After that, I moved the MiSTer back to the desk and connected it back to the PC monitor, but it said that there was no signal coming out of the HDMI port. I removed the IO Board and the RAM module to check if there was a problem there, but got the same results (no signal).

I was panicking, so I removed the SD card and put a new one with the installer. When the MiSTer turned on I saw the installer boot image in the screen, which was a big relief. The HDMI port was working fine and something else was going on. However, after the installer finished and the system was rebooted, I got no signal again.

As a last resort, I tried the SD card that came with the DE10 Nano, which includes a linux dev kit provided by Intel/Terasic. I was very surprised to see the system boot up and show the desktop in the screen. At this point, I started to believe that there was something wrong between MiSTer and the DE10 nano. Digging in the forum, I read some posts discussing dead boards and problems like that:
That encouraged me to try a few more things, including checking the switches in the DE10 board and using the UART port for checking boot logs. The 6 pin DIP switches and toggle switches were in the correct position, and I never touched them before. I used a wooden cocktail stick to move them up and down, but nothing changed. The logs were more interesting. Here is what I found:

I realized that the MiSTer is not loading up, which same problem seen before for a shorted IOBoard reset button (https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=34819).
I am attaching a few pictures of the DE10 Nano and IOBoard in case you can help me identify the issue in the PCB. I am not very knowledgeable regarding electronics, but I could ask for help at a local electronics store. I bought a replacement DE10 Nano board which will arrive in 3 days. Do you think it is safe to reconnect the IOBoard to the new DE10?

If there is any chance of recovering the DE10 and make it work again, I would be super happy.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Static electricity discharge in reset button killed DE10?

Unread post by Sorgelig »

Did you try to remove I/O board and boot MiSTer without it? It's possible static electricity killed de10-nano GPIO pin and made it short internally, or it's possible short happens on I/O board. So at least you can try to find it out.
It's not a problem to connect I/O board to a new de10-nano. If reset button circuit was shorted on I/O board then it simply won't allow MiSTer to boot, but it won't destroy anything.
You always can use MiSTer without I/O board - it's not required addon board.

You need to make sure static electricity won't accumulate on your body, or you will destroy MiSTer or other devices again. Probably you need to make a case with dielectric button pushers, so your fingers will be far from electronic components. Or don't use I/O buttons at all - all their functions can be executed from OSD/Keyboard.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes, I removed both the I/O board and the 128MB Memory Module SDRAM and MiSTer still doesn't boot.
However, this only applies to MiSTer, the MiSTer installer and the dev kit from the DE10 boot up and work ok (image shows up via HDMI).

Assuming that this is what happened: static electricity killed de10-nano GPIO pin and made it short internally, is there something I can do to either confirm it or/and fix it? Could disabling the reset behavior be an option? I could try to recompile MiSTer without the reset feature.

About the static electricity, it is my fault. Every time I sit on that sofa, I get electrically charged because of the fabric of the pillows. I didn't pay attention and now I am stuck with a broken DE10 :(

At least this is a word of caution to other users, so they don't have to experience the same problem.

Depending on where you bought the board, you can probably get a warranty fulfillment on it.

Did you ever figure out what happened? I have the same issue although I'm not sure if it was caused by a static shock or not. I was thinking that maybe the board needs to be factory reset but I haven't found how to do that yet.

Sadly no, I have not found or fixed the problem during these last few months.

A new DE10 arrived and after replacing it, using the same SD card, 128MB SDRAM and 6.1 IO Board and adding a really cool acrylic case (from MiSTerFPGA.co.uk), I forgot about it and left the broken DE10 collecting dust in a shelf.

In the mean time, I got a 32MB SDRAM and IOBoard from AliExpress which I added to the broken DE10, with the hope of one day recovering it and having a second MiSTer ready to go :P

I tried my luck again today just to see if there was any "magical" improvement, but the board is still behaving as before. I am attaching a video to show how the IOBoard lights flash without stop alternating between red and yellow in a never-ending loop.

Rather, I think it's a hardware failure in a programmed chip. The board reports CRC errors and has apparently forgotten its Mac address

The marking shows the NOR Flash, there are things stored...
