Razer Ripsaw HD not working

Looking for answer for this, too, as well as a post from 2 months ago. It’s like they’ve all collectively died and Razer is just ignoring us.

Maybe this can help you guys, first card died after two years and month, out of warranty. And I was writing support before that happened because of glitches and answers was helpful, but I never fixed real issue, what caused death of card some months after. And I bought second unit. And again it starts glitching out randomly. But for my luck I am now using linux, so I could debug some of failures. And that points to board power delivery. Sometimes card gets overload issues, when it’s pulling abnormal amount of amperes from USB hub and starts reconnecting randomly. In windows it’s masked by the way, how it’s work. Most of time it will work till dies, so my suggestion is to replace USB cable/card  to different brand (sarcasm). They need to review quality control.

I basically landed on that exact same solution; because it would occasionally work, but when I tried to use the passthrough it would stop working, apparently the Ripsaw uses more amperage than some of their competitors comparable devices. Eh.

@TazDevL579 One way to figure it out is to dig in board, if that not exceeds some sort of license and patents. Maybe there is bad rated cap that causes ripple and power delivery system malfunction. Card by self is pretty good, but somehow in development they made design fault. There are many possibilities, but when it come to firmware, what is patent protected, we can only hope, they will maybe someday fix that. Hope, they will read this thread. ;)
