HyperPolling Dongle Bricked After Firmware Update – No LED, Pairing Failed, Synapse Still Detects

Hello, I’m looking for help with a HyperPolling Wireless Dongle that appears to have been bricked after a firmware update.

 

Here is exactly what happened:

 

  • I updated the firmware on my HyperPolling dongle through Razer Synapse.
  • After the update completed, the dongle stopped showing any LED at all when plugged in.
  • Razer Synapse still detects the dongle, but it will not pair or transmit wirelessly.
  • When I attempt to pair, Synapse always returns “Pairing Failed.”
  • My DeathAdder V3 Pro works perfectly when connected via USB (wired), so the mouse itself is not the issue.
  • I have tried:
    • Multiple USB ports (rear motherboard ports included)
    • Power cycling my PC
    • Unpairing and re-pairing
    • Forcing pairing mode on the mouse
    • Firmware recovery attempts
  •  
  • Nothing restores the dongle’s LED or wireless function.

 

 

At this point, the dongle is completely unusable wirelessly despite being detected by Synapse. This appears to be a firmware-induced partial brick.

 

I am also unable to locate the serial number on the HyperPolling dongle, and it seems many other users have this same issue, which is preventing me from submitting a standard warranty claim.

 

Could a Razer moderator please assist with:

 

  • Verifying this as a firmware failure
  • And issuing a dongle-only replacement / RMA?
