static shock killed my k95 keyboard

[byzantines2000]

i just got it a couple days ago.

 

i shocked the **** out of my finger as i touched it. Now it doesnt work.

 

the only keys that are lighting are the "MR", backlight program key, windows disable key, and then the three locks are highlighted as active. (scroll lock, num lock, caps lock)

 

ive turned the computer off, unplugged, drained the excess power, restarted and same thing. :(

also, tried different usb ports.

 

is it dead already or does anyone have any ideas?

Try the keyboard on another computer does it work or is the issue still present?

Hi there,

 

I had a similar problem with my K70. I was about to request and proceed with an RMA, but there's one thing that I've completely missed. I checked that BIOS switch, and it was on number 8 by default. I've changed to it to match number 1, which refers to 1000Hz rate or probably equates to 1ms. Once I've done that, the keyboard started working just fine.

 

Hope that helps.
