Lédger® Live Support with Official Guide
Ledger Live serves as the essential desktop and mobile companion application for managing your Ledger hardware wallet. While the application is designed for seamless cryptocurrency management, users may occasionally encounter technical issues or have questions about setup, transactions, or security . Ledger provides comprehensive support resources to help users troubleshoot problems and maintain secure access to their digital assets.
This guide covers the most common support issues, step-by-step troubleshooting solutions, and official channels for seeking assistance.
One of the most frequent support inquiries involves connection issues between the Ledger device and Ledger Live.
USB Connection Troubleshooting:
Try using a different USB cable if possible
Remove any dongles or docking stations between the device and computer
Attempt a different USB port on your computer
For Windows users, right-click Ledger Live and select "Run as administrator"
Update USB drivers through Windows Device Manager
Bluetooth Connection Issues (Ledger Nano X):
When connecting via Bluetooth, your Nano X will display "Allow a secure connection with Ledger"
Press both buttons simultaneously to confirm within 30 seconds
If connection times out, reset Bluetooth pairing between the Nano X and phone
If your cryptocurrency balance appears incorrect or is showing asterisks (***) instead of numbers:
Disable Privacy Mode: Click the eye icon in the top right corner of Ledger Live to deactivate privacy mode
Clear Cache: Navigate to Settings > Help > Clear Cache. This removes downloaded data and forces a full resynchronization with the blockchain
Check Network Selection: When receiving assets from exchanges, verify you have selected the correct network
Remove and Re-add Account: If issues persist, try removing the account and adding it again in Ledger Live
Users may encounter "Sorry, try again. The server could not handle your request - API HTTP 500/503" errors when sending, receiving, swapping, or adding accounts for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Polkadot, Solana, or other cryptocurrencies .
Troubleshooting Steps:
Update Ledger Live to the latest version
Try your transaction again later—check service status at status.ledger.com
As a temporary alternative, connect your Ledger device to compatible third-party wallets:
Bitcoin users: Bitcoin Electrum or Sparrow
Bitcoin Cash users: Electron Cash
Litecoin users: Litecoin Electrum
Polkadot users: polkadot.js
Solana users: Solflare or Phantom
If Ledger Live displays a synchronization error:
Ensure you are using the latest version of Ledger Live
Clear the Ledger Live cache via Settings > Help > Clear Cache
Check Ledger's service status page for known outages

If your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase is the key to recovering your assets .
Important Security Notes:
Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can take your assets—store it securely offline

Service Status
Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase via email, phone, social media, or any support channel. Be vigilant against phishing attempts that impersonate Ledger support. Always verify you are on official Ledger domains before entering any information. For the Ledger Live application itself, the setup process does not require an email and password login—data is stored locally on your device . If you see a "Log in to Ledger Recover" prompt, this is for an optional paid service; standard users should select "Get started" instead .
