First- Check usb cable, replace it temporally with printer usb cable.
And if you still do not see anything in Dev. manager , maybe FTDI is dead.

Something is totall wrong with your cable - both circuits do not work - neither USB circuit, nor the ATmega part. It's quite rare occasion when it fails to such a state. I'd say replace ATmega and replace FTDI but I still hardly believe it got that bad.

Take MProg. Connect the USB part to PC. Can you see anything in MProg (blank or programmed device)? If you can, then try to flash the FTDI's EEPROM with template for RQ/RL and then report back if it became detected or not

scan with Mprog
blank devices - 0
programmmed devices - 0

Hello, I suggest that u get another device and connect to the Pc to see if the problem isn't the usb port like a printer or anything that uses usb port.
Otherwise yo cable will need new chips replaced.

Now I have a problem on my, the licence was revoked.
Any ideas....

another vcds cable / with same version inside ATMEGA/ working in this PC

**ZIPPO4594** · 14th September, 2019, 10:53 AM

I think FTDI is dead...

**hid3** · 14th September, 2019, 01:16 PM

Yeah, seems so... But the ATmega part is faulty/failed also, cause he reflashed the firmware and still no LEDs illumination

**jan4** · 14th September, 2019, 01:27 PM

Open Dev manager- View-Show hidden devices- and plug / unplug your cable and look for a any device pop-up, if you have a device there , you have a driver issue. VID/PID.

Also, I'd suggest powering the chip via OBD2 12V circuit and do not power it from the 5V USBASP source (jumper removed)

I have tested to power it from OBD 12v also, but no luck. Will check MISO/MOSI today.
