BTC Not Showing in Electrum Wallet

[hammo1405]

Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone can help - yesterday I sent some BTC from a LocalBitcoins wallet to my Electrum wallet (done this a few times before to the same wallet with no issues) and for some reason the BTC never arrived in my Electrum wallet!  LocalBitcoins advised that the coins were sent with the transaction confirmed on the blockchain.

The Tx ID is 32c619a6ed104b5f6000344c74d7eaa660237c7c908660f52b1cba4dfd1c5b2c and it looks like it was confirmed.  I can also see by looking up my receiving address 1Aj23hN1ew16PbXuQKwKEXtb7txqW7n3r6 on the blockchain that these were received.  The problem seems to be that my Electrum wallet hasn't updated with the BTC.

Is there anything I can do to get these to show in the wallet?

Thanks

It might be a problem with the server that you're connecting to. Is the bubble at the bottom right green?

You can try changing the server by clicking the bubble, going to the server tab, unchecking the select server automatically option and right click on another server to choose it as the server for your Electrum client.

Thanks mate, just updated to the latest version of Electrum which seems to have done the trick.

What's your previous client version? If you used version 3.3.3 or newer, it should've worked too, so in this case, updating is not really needed to fix it. If not, that might explain the reason why your wallet is unable to sync to good servers.
