I got a new micro:bit which seems undamaged. I did a lot of stupid things with it when it was not connected to my PC. But the very next day, I connected it to my PC and then IT DID NOT EVEN CONNECT. I saw some youtube tutorials, EVEN WENT TO MAKECODE AND TRIED IT THERE AND THEN FINALLY…… still no connection. Even that one orange light is on when I connect, my PC says there is something called “MICROBIT” connected to my PC, but the Device Manager says it is not connected. Please help me overcome this problem.

You have to connect your PC to the microbit through USB and then flash the Scratch Microbit firmware to it.
Then it will display the name of the microbit on the microbit screen.
Then you have to download Scratch Link from the Microsoft Store and open it.
Then you have to get the microbit extension in Scratch and connect to it.

Thanks @_Paymer.
