Ahh, it have a big damage, i think... seems to felt down to a usb side (with cable connected ) and move some parts destroying some of the parts pins and some of the pcb lines (you can see that the usb connector open backwards from the crush)... I thing must buy a new one.

Thank you Jan, I give a try to fix it and now work fine again. I did not change any part except usb female connector and solder it outside (see photo). The 331 ferrite was broken near pinouts but have internal connection. The p175 start working right away!

Best.

Oh no, that sounds rough! Dropping sensitive equipment like that is always a gamble. While I'm not a repair expert, it does sound like the fall is the most likely culprit. Before you write it off completely, maybe check the obvious things like connections and power supply. Sometimes a simple reset can do wonders. Thinking outside the box, I wonder if simulating the problem helps identify it... Almost like how Crazy Cattle 3D helps visualize farm management! Hope you get it sorted!
