Error flashing esp32s3

Output of compile: https://pastebin.com/x7yMQGw0

OK , so It built ok , but bombed at upload,
You leave it plugged in? and did the boot button & reset tap?
I see you have Board support package of 2.0.14
I’m using 2.0.8 may not matter though, try roll back and see.
LMK
You have both check marks when the port is there? the board yes (wouldnt comp. with out it)

2.0.14 should work because as I said my second esp32s3 works fine with the exact same setup, yes have have both checkmarks. (this is alt account because I hit reply limit)

Roger that,
I’m thinking maybe the BootLoader is corrupt.
When it’s connected to the IDE as com16 serial monitor is 9600 baud?
does it show at the bottom of the IDE as xiao and com port?

no worries, get the serial port to say waiting for download you’ll be there.
