So my keyboard was functioning fine but when I plugged it in again earlier suddenly the SMDs on the black would flash and travel in a circle while the 2 in the front flashes red continuously.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Try re flashing the firmware and see if that helps
See plug in your keyboard and run 'loadfw'
Please find attached for the firmware
Def' recommended. I had some firmware issues when I got my Jane and all has been a cinch ever since I loaded the latest and greatest.
Yeah I did exactly as Yuktsi suggested and it now works like magic
This will be my 1 and only baby from now on haha
Did not think I would like it this much, boutta sell my 356, this baby taking over!!
Edit #2: sorry for the confusion guys, I am selling my 356cl but it's going to a real life friend. I apologize for the tease
Edit: Romevi, I think I know why your space bar has the pinging problem. This happen when your stabilizer bar is bent incorrectly. I have 9 different stabilizers and I have tested each one of them thoroughly before installing it because just like you, I HATE the sound.
Anyways, the issue arise when the ends where the stabilizer is bent 90 degree do not perfectly line on a 3D plane. Not sure if that was a good way to put it but if you lay down the stabilizer on a flat surface and observe closely, often time, 1 of the ends will be either rising up from the flat surface or poking downward a tiny bit. You can test this by tipping at 1 of the bent corner, if it moves a bit, that means it's bent incorrectly.
This then translate into the problem where 1 side of the stabilizer will be offset. So imagine when you press the space bar, and release quickly, 1 side of the stabilizer will hit the top first, then the 2nd side will hit. This result in a strong vibration being sent to the 1st end, thus the bar shakes a little bit and the sound resonate with the aluminum case, amplifying the "ping".
I have figured this out from 9 stabilizers and repeatedly bending the faulty one until it's near perfect.
Not sure if I'm just lucky, or maybe this could be a coincidence... I can't say for sure but I am 99% confident in my finding.
