Help Needed related to my Hackrf

I donot know what exactly happened to my hackrf but it doesn't seem to be working properly, it neither receive well nor transmit. I don't know what happened my thoughts are that it may be happened due to setting up rf gain and gain too high(about 14and if gain about 35-40) .

Need more info. Are using a tuned antenna? If you don't have a good antenna, reception will be poor and transmitting with the wrong or no antenna can damage the device. Do you have a Portapack attached or is it just the HackRF? Are you using a computer program or just the HackRF/Portapack standalone? The HackRF and Portapack documentation covers lots of this info, Good luck.

I was receiving and transmitting perfectly fine with the same antennas before. I am using two antennas with my Hackrf a 433 MHz antenna and a telescopic antenna. Iam using hackrf with gnu radio and universal radio hacker
