Creator Micro 2 broken

Bugs

Yesterday I was happy to receive the Creator Micro 2, as I had the first version and was super happy with how it worked. However, this kinda turned into a nightmare very quickly.

I was able to connect the device over BL but I wasn’t able to remap the keys to anything. I always got a failed to update notification. Connecting it to USB fixed it until it didn’t…

Suddenly the bluetooth connection started to drop continuously. Tried other connections, same issue. Connecting it to USB would work but not with Codex where the connection-drop loop continued.

Then suddenly the underglow and backlights went off. Even though the settings were correct, tried everything… Nothing worked.

This left me no choice and try to follow the reset procedure, but that didn’t work either. And then, the unit just went dead. Nothing happened, not with USB. So after some searching found this thread:

https://feedback.worklouder.cc/p/firmware-update-v022-kills-the-creator-micro-v2

I followed the instructions, uninstall, reinstall, restart,… tried it all but unfortunately my unit remains dead.

So basically that upgrade went bad very quickly.

I hope there’s any way to get this thing working again?

    I've got almost the exact same problem did the fix Joeri Van Cauteren is referencing work for you?

    OK this is how I fixed it:

    1. I left my creator micro 2 unconnected for half an hour

    2. Reopened the case, pressed reset + hold, press boot + hold, release reset, release hold

    3. Reconnect (didn’t do the flash erase)

    4. Suddenly the update started running properly

    5. It didn’t restart so I pressed the reset button again and then the unit restarted

    6. Reconnected

    It seems to work fine now.

    Also reported this on Discord through a ticket so will continue there but wanted to share how I resolved it for now. If anything changes I’d let it know here as well.
