montean Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 I just received my new dongle in the mail today yesterday I cannot for the life of me get this thing to recognize, I have tried 3 different pc's running windows 7 both 32 bit and 64 bit, also tried on windows 8 pc with no success. Have tried manually installing drivers and uninstalled hardware several times. Please help https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jcrpfefgo77nl6/device%20manager.jpg?dl=0 Quote
jason Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 When you fire up the GUI, is the device recognized? Quote
montean Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 No just reads please connect flirc Quote
jason Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 okay, so there `are actually two devices inside flirc to the computer. A generic USB device which is the keyboard, and a special device you talk to. If the GUI isn't finding the device, it is not seeing the special device. Can you expand the keyboard tab in system device manager, do you see the flirc device there? You'll know if you disconnect it. Otherwise, it's just having a problem reading the device and enumerating properly. Quote
montean Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) So I am not showing flirc under the keyboard either. https://www.dropbox.com/s/npq1aczx4aim9i7/screen.jpg?dl=0 Edited September 27, 2014 by montean Quote
montean Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Posted October 24, 2014 So... it's looking like I wasted my money on a useless piece of hardware? Quote
jason Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 sorry, it's just me here, and I was really sick this last week. send me an email via the support site. Definitely didn't waist your money, I'll make sure to make it right. I'll get a replacement out to you as soon as possible. I'm really sorry for the delay. Quote
TMAde Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Ok so I was having a similar issue to this, I was able to successfully install the drivers on my PC running Windows 8.1 64bit. But that's it. When I go to Device Manager it shows a keyboard and that's it, nothing else. No GUI is fired up, nothing. Please help? Quote

Snakedoctor Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 Hi All,I have a simillar problem. Have posted in the How to thread and then saw this. Have run device manager but do not see flirc device in the Keyboard. When I try and open the unknown USB device I get the following message "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" Should I return this or is there some firmware that I can download to get this going Quote
ScratchMe Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Im having the same problem as you guys, I suspect its cause we are using usb 3.0 can you confirm this? I have opened another thread, what a waste of money :/ shame Quote
