(new) ST-Link V3 minie not working on Windows ( 7 or 10) ! Whats wrong ?

[AScha.3]

new (from mouser) STLINK V3 MINIE not working on Windows PC (win7) , no driver found !

hey, on same PC STLINK V3MODS working without problem !

the brand new V3MINIE also on Win10 doing nothing - no error, no enumeration.

on win7 here :

no driver found.

and compare on USB V3mods right and V3minie left side:

different PID .

what can i do now ?

 @peter BENSCH​  - any help ??

[AScha.3]

ok, try on Win7 PC now update + change type :

..device lost. new exciting gameplay...

then:

after upgrade try plug out and in to get new enumeration, but:

then, after some minutes (!!) - working.

so:

• download and install new win. drivers
• update firmware + change type
• wait some minutes...

thanks to all who have helped clarify ...

Have you connected the Vcc pin of MINIE to the target?

[AScha.3]

shure...

if you think about the 0,00V message : there was no target, just connect to St-Link was proofing connection.

problem was : need install driver (!) never need this before. new driver from STM needed.

and then update firmware / change type !

crazy...because the almost identical V3mods working instantly !

would you expect the almost same product from same company behave totally different ?

These days, you know, nothing is 100% sure.

Can be bad cables, power glitches... maybe a defective or damaged st-link too.

Try to swap all parts, use a good reliable machine. Win10 or 11.
