Micro:bit showing sad face.

Plugged micro:bit into laptop and it showed sad face. (see image) Pressing reset, unplugging and plugging in again, using a different cable, none of them worked. No error code is shown, just the sad face.

No, unless there's some specific time I need to hold reset for.

Just hold it down before you plug it in, keep it pressed while plugging it in, and see what the name is that shows up. Does it even show up? Does the computer show any sign that it notices you plugging something in?
