NEED HELP Code not uploading error for Arduino UNO

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

i've spent the past hours online searching and finding a way to solve this uploading issue but nothing has worked yet. Uploading using Arduino 2.2.1 and the error below comes up when trying to upload my code and any other simple code too, even blank sketches dont work

//

Sketch uses 7104 bytes (22%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 576 bytes (28%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1472 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

This isnt a new Arduino uno or anything and ive been using it for some months now. I am positive the correct port and board of my uno are selected and also the built in led next to pin 13 doesnt flash like its supposed to when the reset button is pressed. im not too sure about the drivers installed into the arduino but my one is using a Mega16u2 chip and regarding burning the bootloader this is the only arduino i have so that wont be much of an option

If anyone has some advice or knowledge i am more than happy to hear any bit of help thank you

Try these few things:
1.) Click upload and when you see this part "Sketch uses 7104 bytes (22%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes."

Press and hold your reset button for just a second. I have had an instance or two where my code was apparently overloading the processor and it could not upload. this trick works if that is the issue.

2.) Similar to 1, but Click Upload, unplug and plug your uno back in before it gets to upload.

3.) If you have any other Arduino IDE open and they also have the serial monitor open, then that will also sometimes cause the upload issue. THis can also tie into 1 & 2's solutions.

4.) If you plug it in, and it shows no signs of life, then you may have blown a chip, or caused the chip to get corrupted.

5.) Close everything and Reboot your computer.

6.) If you are using windows, right click on the windows start button and select "Device Manager". See if you have any problems in those two Sections. You might see a red x on them if the issue is there.

Let me know if any of it helps,

I've tried each one and it still doesn't seem to be working

  1. Does not show any different progress when using the reset button

  2. This also has no shown any progress and still has the same errors

  3. I have no other Arduino ide open when I'm running the program so this shouldn't be an issue

  4. When plugged in only the green light and the built in led are on no blinking so I'm not sure if this is related or not to it being corrupted or a blown up chip

  5. I've done this multiple times but still has not made much of a difference

  6. There is no red x on either two sections in my device manager

Would I be better off getting a new Uno as this is what I've been considering after finding no progress

It would be wise to buy one instead of beating your head on your screen. I it did work, and other boards are working, then chances are the uno is bad. I do know that you can only program chips so many times before they wear out. If you have been using it for a long time, it may just be bad. Trying another computer ma also help confirming.
