Fix Clicking Brick Syndrome Lego Mindstorms NXT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- There is an issue with Windows where it tries to use the wrong driver for the Lego Mindstorms NXT while updating firmware. It will cause the unit to tick every second or so and the screen will be blank. This video shows you how to make sure you are using the correct driver to update the firmware.
You can find the latest version of the Lego NXT software and firmware at the link below.

This works even on windows 11. Many thanks for unbricking my good old NXT.
Excellent video. No clickbait, just succinct instructions that work. Thank you.
That's the plan!
I've been looking for a solution for a long time and now the problem is solved. Thank you very much.
Glad to help! Thanks for the comment 😀
Great, thx. Brought back bricked brick to life
thanks, you saved the one a friend asked me to fix.
Glad to help!
Thank you so much!!! I just saved the nxt of my school, we have robotics here and we are still using nxt. old but gold.
Glad I could help! I hate to think of perfectly good NXT units sitting on the shelf due to this issue 🙂
@@BatteryPoweredBricks Our brick was unused since 2019, I entered on the robotics team here in 2020 and the my veterans told us that it wasn't working. This year, I tried to turn it on and it did worked fow a few days, I dont't know how. but today it was broken againg, and this time I fixed it, thanks to you!!
Thanks this was very helpful
Thanks, fixed now.
Excellent video, I thought I had broken mine. Thanks
Thank you so much! This is the one thing that actually works and I really appreciate it.
Glad to help!
Thank you so much !! ❤
Solved it. Thank you.
No Chance. Win 10 didn't detect the device. I can hear this tick tick tick. But if I plug in die USB Cable (used diffrent) - nothing happen.
You could try another USB cable or another USB port. I'm sure there are other things that can cause the clicking brick syndrome as mentioned in the first part of the video. This was the method I used to fix several of them
just saw you already tried a different one. I can look through my NXT units and see if I have any that click but don't show up at all
Thank you very much for saving nxt turns into bricks of stone😄
wtf?
I saved 3 NXT man. 1 billion
thanks here from Brazil RS. I learn robotics wit nxt / Ev3 lego this year. what is the cause of the problem?
Awesome! Glad to help. It's a driver issue. When the Firmware is updated it changes to a different mode requiring a different driver. It's in this mode when it is ticking. Windows can load the wrong driver thinking it is something else which stops the software from seeing the NXT. Manually changing the driver to the correct one fixes the issue and allows the firmware to be properly loaded.
@@BatteryPoweredBricks tks Man. In Brazil lego Very expensive . One kit lego ev3 is 1500 usa $. U helped me a lot
My english is not só good. Sorry. See u.
I made my brick brick then update drivers to factory reset it as I have gotten it used
when i plug in my nxt nothing happens, not showing up anything
It's very common for the screens to fail and if the volume is turned down there is no indication it is turned on. I have a really old video about how you can mirror the screen on a PC through USB. If it is completely dead I haven't had any success fixing them but also haven't really tried. They are pretty cheap on Bricklink to just buy another
@@BatteryPoweredBricks i mean like its ticking but windows just cant seem to detect it, nothing new shows up in device manager and i dont hear the plug in sound
allah senden razı olsun
Didn’t work. It just says error communicating with nxt device :(
Does it show up in Device Manager?
@@BatteryPoweredBricks yes, I did all steps and when I went to update the firmware it successfully connected and prepared the nxt but in the download moment that error showed up. I tried multiple times but didn’t work either
@@MarcusaGorbar hmmm, You can try a different cable, or a different USB port (I've heard some say to avoid USB 3 ports). Also make sure you are using the latest version of the software and firmware. They are both available from Lego at this link www.lego.com/en-us/themes/mindstorms/downloads
@@BatteryPoweredBricks oof i just did it. It was just the usb i was using, i was using a hub instead of the usb port from my pc.
Anyways thank you for the tip, i didnt thought of doing that
Bleh, Winblows...
Well, Winblows created this mess by using the wrong driver so it's only fitting it would have to clean it up 😅
@@BatteryPoweredBricks Yeah come and use Linux
@@TheSwampChicken-II I've used Linux off and on for over a decade. It works well in some cases but not all in my experience. At the end of the day I'm sure most watching a guide like this are running Windows anyways
