Hi folks 

after 5 months without a problem the Nina dont show in the list the Cfw3 fw. I use Nina beta 2 qhy268m qhycfw3 native drivers updated for all and the 4pin cable. The mode in Cfw3 is in green mode.

what else I can check it?

First check is obviously to replace the cable. From your posting it's not appearent if you did that.  Cables can stop working for a multitude of reasons. That's why I always have a replacement for any type of cable I'm using in my bag.

Good luck and clear skies

Why to use beta when there's a stable NINA 2.0 version ? Try to install it.
Then completely delete and install the latest stable drivers from QHY website.
Then check all cables (power, USB, 4pin) and try replacing them.
Last but not least - check if camera gets enough power (like 5-6 ampers 12V).

Try setting the button to switch the CFW3 to USB and then back to the 4 pin connector. I've done that a couple of times when nothing could see the CFW3 and it worked each time.
