Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is bricked. :(

[cageymaru]

Flashed my Razer BlackWidow Ultimate with the Synapse 2.1 updater because you need it to get Win 8 64 to work with the macro keys. Now I have a wonderful brick. It is such a lovely $130 brick.

Is there a way to get it to work again? Synapse says there isn't a keyboard attached to my computer, Win 8 is mum on the subject, and my UEFI bios draws a blank with it also. Is there a way to resurrect it from the dead?

Oh and if I have to send it in to Razer typically how long does it take? Quite sure that some of you have had to send in Razer products before.

I've read where sometimes synapse doesn't play well with Win 8, try it on a Win 7 box

Contact support, they have a utility that will fix it. At least they did when my Hex bricked.

I've lot's of issues with upgrading Razer firmware, I try to avoid doing it now.

Waiting on a response from support. Thx.

Flashed it today and it's working as good as new.
