[Hackrf-dev] HackRF One won't power on and connect

[Craig Warnol]

I have a HackRF One that will not power on and connect to PC. I get no 
LEDs illuminating when connecting to PC with or without the DFU button 
depressed. I've tested on several PCs and with different USB cables. I 
have another HackRF One that works perfectly with the same PC/cables.

I only have Linux boxes. Here's the dmesg logs from this morning.
Plugged in, no buttons pressed:

Full Disclosure:
This unit was purchase from NooElec as a pre-order in June 2014. I 
purchased my second one as a used unit from a ham at the Huntsville 
Hamfest in 2016 after my original stopped working.
What brings this on now is a comment Michael made on  Git Hub about 
replace/repair any HackRF One. I did contact info at greatscottgadgets.com 
and was referred to post here for further troubleshooting.

Thanks
