Nothing shows up at all. I've tried all of my USB ports and different USB cables.
Did you go through to the next step in that link of using the erase button? That may get it to show up as a bossa port hopefully.

Both visually and tested with a multimeter. I don't have a replacement for it yet, but I ordered some from Filastruder.
Will need to get the fuse sorted before we can test vin. That's why I was hoping USB would at least show us a sign of life since the 5V LED comes on when USB is connected, right?
Are you sure the USB ports are working on your PC? If it were a ground loop that can often damage the USB ports on the duet and/or PC it was connected to.

Just did this, and now it is showing up as a Bossa port.

They've already shipped so they should arrive soon.

Yes they are working. I checked and double checked by plugging in other peripherals.

Ok a bossa port is a good sign at least. Flashing the firmware will hopefully bring it back to life.
I'm reluctant to suggest this because it's obvious something happened to cause the fuse to blow, but if you wanted to test if vin was working you could bridge the fuse connector with a wire to see if 5v and 3v LEDs power up when vin is connected.
Though that won't be much use until you can flash it with Bossa anyway.
In meantime would be worth going over the wiring and mounting to check for any potential electrical shorts.

I just bridged it and the 5v and 3v LEDs did light up!
I'll go through the wiring first thing Monday morning since they don't want anyone in the office after hours right now.

Good to hear. Hopefully the board is recoverable.
-
I successfully recovered the board. I've checked and rechecked the wiring and everything looks fine. I'm not really sure what could have caused this.
-
Good to hear. It's hard to say. Seems like a short to take out the fuse.
-
Our office building has been going through significant construction which has caused brownouts and power surges recently. Could that have contributed to it? Thanks for all the help BTW, appreciate it.

I suppose anything is possible.
