s1rrah Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi ... Just picked up a K90 today and everything worked out of the box. I did not install the driver software (K90 setup beta2.12 010612.exe) as it said a firmware update was first necessary and so I straight away began the firmware update process. The update has been at the "erasing flash memory" dialogue window for about 30 minutes now. Is this normal? I'm really wanting to just hit "exit" as I can't believe a firmware erasure would take half an hour but thought I'd hit this forum up before officially blowing up my 45minute old, new keboard. LOL ... Any tips? Thanks in advance... Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1rrah Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 After an hour I just hit "exit" and restarted my machine. Now the keyboard is officially bricked. I've tried it in a couple other machines (XP and Win 7) and though the keys work when pressed, I get no back lighting and the firmware update gives a "not detected, reinstall drivers message". It was an awesome keyboard for about five minutes but unfortunately the update process fried it some how. Back to square one. I'm going to try another one cause I love the design and very bright backlighting is a must for me so hopefully the next one will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 21, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 21, 2012 That is not normal. I would suggest exchanging the keyboard for another one. Sounds like at some point the firmware was corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
