Assembly is easy. also double confirmed the chip orientation. But once done, I plugged in USB, lights on, but the cursor won't move

Assuming the firmware is pre-flashed into the chip. I expected it works after I plugin the USB cable to my Mac. But I can see the white LED is light but the cursor won't move. Is there extra step I was missing?

I had this issue on my Mac and it turned out that my Nano only worked with certain cables. I suggest trying a different cable (I had to try several before I found one that worked) if you haven't already.

I am no luck. I tried all my cables, none of them work.

I am having the same issue, using the cable provided. Are there any other thoughts?

To clarify, I'm on Windows, not Mac

I am using Mac. iPad and Android. Tried several cables. None of them work. Since there is no refund from seller, I will put it in trash.

Ok, so I needed to reflow my sensor: second pin from the right on the bottom when you can read the LOTR text.

Please post here if the problem solved.

Please post here if the problem solved.

Please refer to my prior comment: the error was a bad join on the sensor. Reflowing the joins resolved the issue.

Thanks for sharing @jacobrathjens. My nano has been working well so far but it never hurts to reflow solder so I will go in and reflow my sensor just to be safe.
