Razor Kiyo Stopped working mid call

I purchased a Razor Kiyo a few years ago, 2020 I think. It has been running fine until about 2 weeks ago. It turned on without any problems and connected to MS Teams, but as I was in the middle of a Teams call, the light flickered before disconnecting from Teams. 

I updated the firmware, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cortex and Synapse, but that did not help.  I have even tried moving it from the docking station to the laptop USB itself, but nothing seems to work, even though the camera is connected and powered on. 

If I reconnect they reappear in the apps (Teams) menu until I try to turn it on and then it disconnects and disappears from the camera devices list in Control Panel. 

I did recently (three days prior to this failure) get a new laptop with the latest Windows 11 install on it, and plugged the camera in to install all related software.  Don’t know if this is an issue, but basically now I am unable to use the camera.

Please advise on repair/ replacement options?

TIA

This is exactly what starting happening to my camera two weeks ago. It has worked absolutely fine up until that point, but now I have the same issues as described above. It’s not even that old (maybe 3 years?) so I’m surprised that it’s stopped working.

Is there a fix for this? The firmware is up-to-date.

Thanks!

I was on a Zoom conference call and the Kiyo ring light camera just stopped working.  The ring light is flickering on and  off.  I just bought this last year.   I don't know what to do.  Firmware is up to date, and restarted the computer and changed USB .  I did everything that synapse told me to do.   Can anyone help me.
