# How do I detect and handle disconnects?

If the neoVI is removed from the computer or stops responding, most API calls will generate a disconnect error. If you receive a return value from an API call that indicates an error occurred, you must call the GetLastAPIError method. If the error is `NEOVI_ERROR_DLL_NEOVI_NO_RESPONSE` then the neoVI has either been unplugged or is not responding.

To recover from this condition follow these steps:

* Plug the neoVI back in, or in the case of the neoVI not responding, remove and then plug back in.
* Call the [ClosePort](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/basic-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/closeport-method-intrepidcs-api.md) method.
* Call the [OpenNeoDevice](/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/basic-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/openneodevice-method-intrepidcs-api.md) method using the same parameters are before.

The following API functions will generate the NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_NEOVI\_NO\_RESPONSE error:
