Crap! Static spark, non-working keyboard

[TP Diffenbach]

It's a cold night, I get home, take off my jacket and grab the key board.

Spark jumps from my finger, keybpard is dead.

Diagnostics show no keyboard, Windows plug and pay reports no response from it.

Any options?

Please, I can't get used to a normal keyboard. This is killing me.

Obviously, if Windows doesn't detect the board, I can't reasonably ask you what the FW diagnostic test says.

Try plugging the keyboard into your normal computer and to the reset gesture (flat hand) five times in a row, that will cause a "hard reset" of the board. If the board is alive and Windows just isn't seeing it, then that might help.

Try plugging the keyboard into a different computer.

one thing i tried when my ts totally died was to reset the firmware. The gesture set wasn't loaded until i updated the firmware. Dont know if this will help but its always a good thing to try. Good luck though

We have an amazing suspense here. It looks like thenn did a very nice gesture with his TS If it happens to solve the problem, this thread will be a model to illustrate how these forums are sort of life support for all of us. Should this do the trick, TP Diffenbach, you'd owe him If it does not, well the spirit would still have played out.

I get the exact same checksum for MultiTouch_Utilities.exe.

You may find something with Gibablast if you look for DFU mode (Device Firmware Upgrade) in the . I remember having read things about what happens while upgrading.
