Dobot Magician V3.7.0 Broke Dobot. Bricked, status LED not working Dobot Not working

[fsu]

As the title says, since updating my Dobot Magician from Dobot Studio to V3.7.0 my Dobot no longer works.

The status LED is off, it does not turn Red or Green but the arm does not move. I can connect to it from Dobot Studio, and can get it to log coordinates on the teaching & playback with the manual teaching, but the playback does not work.

I tried following the steps to us the Mcuisp to reflash the firmware of the dobot but that did not work either.

Followed these guides here:

Magician indicator is off (neither red nor green) and serial port is not connected

The Magician’s status indicator does not light up, neither shows red nor green. And when open the DobotStudio software trying to connect the robotic arm, it prompts that the current serial port is not connected to Dobot, please select the correct port. [serial%20port%20is%20not%20connected] When encountering this situation, users need to re-burn the firmware for the Magician. Please use the Mcuisp tool and the firmware in the folder (path DobotStudio > config > firmware) Just open the Mcuisp…

and here:

DOBOT Turns on but no indicator light

Hi, My DOBOT was working well until it failed to connect to the software. I turned it off and when I turned it back on, no indicator light came on.

But it did not work. How can I make my $2000 machine work again? It is a paper weight right now.

I have tried emailing support@dobot-robots.com and they responded one time asking for more information but will not respond anymore.

Thank you.

Hi! I got the same problem with you, and I was able to fix this by using the Mcuisp software. I did have to change the “baudrate” to match the usb interfase though. mine was 9600. (Mcuisps default was 115200). I found out the correct baud rate by going to “Device manger” with the bricked dobot connected, then look for the USB device with the name “silicon labs — something something (COM5)” and look at the Properties-> port settings -> Bites per second.

Good luck!
