# Hardware:LimeSDR System：windows 10 software：LimeSuite GUI ver 19.04.0-PothosSDR-2019.06.09-vc14-x64 ![000](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/myriadrf/original/2X/d/d3f56db6079076a0efb75f606955a1d9dab5e790.jpeg)

Yesterday，I Installed a new LimeSuite version(19.04.0),but when I Open the FFT Viewer, I can’t see any single wave, I noticed a hint below.（In previous versions, it was working normally.）

So，I clicked the buttons in turn.

I think I may have made a big mistake, because this module is not working properly now ☹  
Now I Open LimeSuite and connect LimeSDR. It looks like this:😭

Very desperate, really need help！

The “version 0, revision 0” error usually means corrupted firmware and/or a bad USB cable or port that is unable to deliver enough current.

Can you try another USB port and/or cable (both USB 3.0 or better) and firmware update again. Worst case if it will not update via the GUI or LimeUtil, you can use the Cypress utilities. See:

Warm it up with a hair dryer for a bit and then try to use it…no really. Try that.
