Re: [VOXL2 ADB not working](/topic/1370/voxl2-adb-not-working)

I am having a similar issue to this post, but instead of a Sentinel, its with the standalone voxl2 board. We can boot the board into fastboot and connect, but we cannot do any adb connections. When trying to reflash the board, we have the same message of "Waiting for adb" that never completes. The board has only power and the usbc connected to it, no cameras or anything else attached. 

We previously were able to connect over adb, reflash, and access files on the board. I found an adjacent post that resembles what's occurring wtih the voxl2: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/82059/adb-not-working-but-fastboot-is

Is it possible that this issue came from a static discharge on the board? When moving the board from one person to me while it was not powered, I felt a static pop when accepting the board. Could this be the cause of adb suddenly no longer working?

Yes, it sounds like you were not using proper handling techniques. Please see https://modalai.com/handling

@Chad-Sweet Since this appears to be a hardware issue with the static discharge, would it be fixable?

Probably not fixable. It is why we include handling flyers with the products and have the [handling instructions](https://modalai.com/handling) included in our [product terms](https://www.modalai.com/pages/terms-and-conditions). These are bare PCBs and must be handled appropriately.
