little help please

[DrDeerman]

my nano just got in the mail today, so i excitedly put it in and half way through the first setup the light turned off. i waited 20 min before unplugging and re-plugging, now when its plugged in the light flashes once then off completely. I dont know what to do please any advice would be appreciated

how are you powering the nano?

[DrDeerman]

with the usb cables that came with the device

if your computer is not supplying enough power to the pineapple it will do funny things.  the nano needs 5v2a so depending on your usb ports you might need to use 2 or 1 and a battery.  I usually always connect mine with a battery that is 5v2a just to make sure its not going to do anything funky on me.
