just got done doing alot of tests and tried to start gqrx and i have no lights on board at all
i dont get any lights on the limesdr-mini
this is what SoapySDRUtil --info, --find and --probe

just repeats this over and over. all while limesdr has no power light
tested it on my rpi3 and it also has no power light when connected to it
tested with LimeSuiteGUI too
when i try to connect it says this
