M60 Bricked After Firmware Update

[Notsononymous]

Short Version:

> hadn't updated firmware for a few months

> wanted to set up macro on new machine

> updated firmware on new machine before installing driver [see below]

> mouse bricked [computer doesn't even recognize it's plugged in]

> tried all three USB 2.0 ports

> attempted to follow all instructions in threads regarding a firmware update bricking an M60, but none applied as the PC didn't even recognise the mouse was plugged in

> deleted all mouse drivers in Device Manager [even edited registry to show unplugged devices following instructions here]

> mouse still bricked

> will bring mouse in to work tomorrow and plug into work PC to see if it's an issue specific to my laptop

 

System info..? I'm a bit of a noob so I'm not sure what you need... The laptop is an Asus UL30A, Windows 7 [64 bit I think, whatever that means compared to 32 bit...]

 

Long story:

I'd been using my M60 with my laptop for a a year or so without any drivers or anything other than the ones Windows installed automatically when I first plugged in the mouse. I mainly used my desktop for gaming so I'd installed Corsair's drivers and the firmware there.

 

After I moved to South Africa a couple of months ago, I didn't bring my desktop over in the first shipment of stuff, so I'd been using my laptop exclusively for gaming, but today for the first time I encountered a situation where I wanted to set up a macro for use in Terraria.

 

Following the instructions in the zip folder I updated the firmware of the mouse first. When it started the mouse went dead, but I figured that was normal and I vaguely remembered it doing that when I updated the firmware for the first time on my desktop. The firmware update finished, no error messages, but the mouse didn't come back to life.

 

I tried following all the instructions for a firmware update bricking the M60, but none of the ones I've found applied because my PC doesn't recognize that the mouse is plugged in.

 

I tried deleting the default drivers windows installs by following the instructions here but it didn't help. I've tried all the USB ports...

 

I'm stuck. If anybody knows what I should try next, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers, Notso.

If the L.E.D.s don't light up, buttons don't work and the cursor doesn't move. Request an RMA to replace the mouse (two year warranty from the purchase date).
