My Wooting 80E has no juice

[proven pier]

I bought the DIY 80 Wooting and modded it with a tape mod from the get go, after I plugged everything in and tried to fire it up for the first time it sadly didn’t work. It seems like it won’t get any juice for some reason. I tried my other keyboards and they work perfectly fine.

[proven pier]

i checked this one out but the problem is like i said the keyboard wont turn on at all, for example it doesnt show in the app, i think its just a defect keyboard.

[snow grail]

did you try using other usb ports and pc's/laptops

[proven pier]

i did, even changed the cable and tried on my working laptop to see, if it was my PC's fault, sadly still no succes in powering it up.

Could you attempt to palce the keybaord into "Wooting Restore" and see if any of the RGB is on (if so please tell witch ones)

To place the keyboard into wooting restore you can follow the steps below

• Unplug the keyboard
• Hold down the [Pause] & [Right-Arrow] Keys
• plug the keyboard back in
• After 3 seconds let go of the keys
• Do you see any RGB on?
