Pok3r RGB bricked? layer lights on doesn't register keypress
« on: Tue, 20 August 2019, 01:01:28 »
Hi,

I swapped cases for my Pok3r RGB and it just stopped working. It's a dual PCB RGB. The layer light I use is on. It shows as usb HID device in journalctl but pok3rtools doesn't list it and it doesn't register any keypresses.

The RGB layer does fall off a lot but the pins go into the plug ok for the two layers.

I'm a bit lost, it's not my only board but I will be a bit sorry if it's dead:(

Anyone faced a similar situation. I was thinking to flash it with poker_qmk but I guess if pok3rtools doesn't work then there is little chance of that.

Maybe something is shorting if your case is aluminium.

As soon as I pick it up it falls off. The connector pins are all ok and it lights up. Maybe something else is broke.

Fixed!! The pcb connector plug had become too pushed up and the two PCs were not connecting. I pushed it down gently with a screwdriver each end now the RGB board stays in place and doesn't fall out. TLDR; The pins in the second RGB board were not in the plug until I pushed it down. Probably from too much case changing! Happiness returns!

Thanks. It does look great with /dev/tty but is a bit noisy in the office compared to them in an aluminium case. I might try lining the case with neoprene like my alu ones
