Hello, recently my keyboard died, when I turned on my PC it lit up and was unresponsive. After system reset it seemed completely dead. After few days I tried plugging it in again and it showed up as Razer Bootloader. Did some digging, found the proper Firmware updater, turned off all the apps and I started it up.
However, it keeps on looping on Updating Firmware > Verifying Firmware > Processing Firmware Data > Erasing Flash > Updating Firmware again. It’s been going on for about 40 minutes so I’m pretty sure it’s stuck. Anyone’s got any idea where I could go from here or is it over for my keyboard?

How did you manage to have it show up as Razer Bootloader? Mine shows up as a storage device, did you install a razer bootloader driver from somewhere? Also did you solve this?
