LimeSDR Mini Test LNAW Fail

I have a LimeSDR Mini, with the QuickTest i have this output:

Is it normal??

[Maurish91]

I made this test both with Windows 10 than Ubuntu 18.04.
I don’t know if internal LNA is broken.
Anyone can suggest to me some test for verify that is all ok?

Thank You

It looks as though there has been damage to the TX_2 > LNA_W path, hence the reduced level. This could be physical damage or overload on input.

[Maurish91]

What could i do? Can i fix it?

[andrewback]

It’s unlikely that this is something you could fix yourself, unless you can see physical damage and are confident in repairing this.

But i didn’t do anything strange… I ever used a simply dipole antenna. If is a damage on the board, like a capacitor, or resistor i can try to do something.
Otherwise i can’t do anything…
