I have been using the MSP-FET430UIF debugger without any issue. When i switched to a dell latitude, I was able to flash code to the target using 'download and debug' on IAR kickstart. However the next time, i tried to flash, I received a 'failed to recognise hardware' error. I checked that the voltage on the JTAG (on the debugger side) dropped to 1.5 V from 3 V. The 'mode' light does not momentarily flash red upon connecting to the computer either. I verified that the target is working fine. Are there known reasons for why this might occur? is there any way i can salvage the debugger or is there some sort of fuse that i might have blown that i can reset? Thanks for the help.
