Hi Alex. I hope all is well. I have an Audiomoth 1.2.0 and when I connect it to the computer to configure the device. The green LED does not turn on and I get the error message "Power surge on USB port. Unknown USN Device needs more power than the port can supply". While connected the device gets hot. Is there any way to salvage this device? Thank you.

Hi, I haven't seen this before but it sounds like this must have a short-circuit on the board. Especially if it is drawing enough power to get hot. Check that there isn't any obvious corrosion around the GPIO and power pins on the top surface of the PCB. Does the same happen when you put batteries in the AudioMoth and switch to DEFAULT? It may still make recordings in that mode. Alex
