I'm really stressed out because my Arduino was working perfectly fine, but now it suddenly shows a 'programmer not responding' error whenever I try to upload code to it. It's for my school assignment that's due tomorrow, and I've been in tears for the past hour over this. I really don't know what to do, and it feels so unfair that it's happening now.

Have you looked into solutions from the Arduino forum? They have a lot of troubleshooting tips for the 'programmer not responding' issue. Make sure to double-check everything—even different laptops can sometimes lead to different issues with drivers being updated or not recognized properly.
I totally understand how stressful that is! First, make sure all your connections are secure. A wire might be loose or mixed up. Sometimes it helps to take a break for about 15 minutes and clear your mind before you dive back into troubleshooting.

I've also heard the same thing! It's easy to overlook simple things like wires getting disconnected. It's great to step away for a bit!
Yeah, I've tried almost everything I could find, but nothing seems to be working!
