LED Rapidly Flashing White
Troubleshoot rapid white LED flashing on your Operator.
2 min read
A rapidly flashing white LED indicates your Operator is powered on but having difficulty communicating with your computer. This is typically a USB connection issue.
Quick fixes
1. Try a different USB cable
This is often the cause. Test with:
- The included USB cable
- Another high-quality USB-C cable
- A cable you know works for data transfer
2. Try different USB ports
Some ports work better than others:
- Test multiple ports on your computer
- Try both USB-A and USB-C ports if available
- Avoid USB 3.0 hubs or adapters
3. Connect directly
Remove any devices between the Operator and your computer:
- Don’t use USB hubs
- Don’t use USB adapters
- Connect straight to your computer’s built-in ports
If the issue persists
The problem may be with your computer’s USB configuration:
Inspect the USB port
Look for debris, damage, or bent pins in the port.
Update USB drivers (Windows®)
- Open Device Manager
- Expand “Universal Serial Bus controllers”
- Right-click each item and select “Update driver”
- Restart your computer
Check for conflicts
Other software or devices may be interfering:
- Close unnecessary applications
- Disconnect other USB devices
- Check for conflicting USB management software
Test on another computer
If available, try your Operator on a different computer. This helps determine if the issue is:
- Computer-specific (works on other computers)
- Device-specific (same issue on all computers)
