Hi!
My friend's gifted me a supposedly failed Ducky Shine 2, model 9008S, with Cherry MX reds.
It was disconnecting at an increasingly faster rate, to the point it won't connect at all.
I've already resoldered a microUSB jack (solder pad was broken off) and made a direct USB-to-JST cable, bypassing the daughterboard, to eliminate the potential points of failure for the USB connection.
It now does connect consistently on both cable setups but the computer fails to recognize the keyboard as an USB device (tested on three computers and many USB ports). Tried USB to PS2, same thing.
When connected, the keyboard lights up in a sequence:
and then does not respond - no keypresses are transmitted to the computer. Hardware controls work, I can turn the back-lighting off an on with a key combo but that's about it. When I turn on the caps lock or numlock on the other keyboard, for example, the corresponding lights on the Ducky do not change.
I wanted to ask if these symptoms are familiar to any of you, perhaps the issue is somewhat common and fixable?
The board quality is questionable, so if all else fails, I'll strip it and make a project board out of it, but I'd rather repair than rebuild.
