KM780 RGB & MX Firmware Downgrade/Reset

[G.SKILL]

In some cases, firmware may be corrupt, causing usage issues on the KM780 MX/RGB keyboard. Please download and follow the instructions below to reset the firmware. The included firmware version is FW26 for KM780 MX and FW46 for KM780 RGB; please use the firmware update in the program files folder (folder name: FWUpdate) for later firmware versions. It's recommended to reinstall the software after resetting the firmware (similar to step 9c) to ensure matching firmware and software versions.

1. Locate the small hole under the leg standoff on the upper left corner (underside of the MR key).
2. Unplug the keyboard.
3. Use a paper clip, or something similar, and insert into hole. You should feel a click or something pressed down.

5. Go to My Computer, there should be a drive with 64KB size (Drive Name: "CRP DISABLD" or "CRP1 ENABLD").
6. Delete the drive contents (should be a single file named "firmware.bin"), then copy the GSKILL_KM780_MX_V0018.bin file into the drive.
7. Remove the paper clip, and reconnect the USB again.
8. Once keyboard LED is lit up, confirm keyboard is functioning by pressing Windows key.
9a. Execute and run FWUpdate.exe from the "FWUpdate_KM780_MX_26" folder, with Administrator rights (right click on FWUpdate.exe and click "Run as Administrator"). Wait until update is complete.
9b. Alternatively, if the G.SKILL driver software is already installed, the paired firmware version can also be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\G.Skill\G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX\FWUpdate
9c. If G.SKILL driver software is not installed, you may obtain the latest firmware version by downloading and installing the G.SKILL latest software driver from the G.SKILL website. (www.gskill.com/en/download)

So I was getting the error that this guy was getting, https://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=13985 , so I clicked on the link he was told to fix his issue, and I followed the steps here. I managed to get the keyboard to let me access the 64kb drive, but no matter how many times I unplug it and plug it back in it will not light back up, and keeps letting me access the 64kb drive even when I dont have anything in the hole to depress whatever switch is in there.

How do I fix this? I had to get my old membrane keyboard out just to type this up.

I have the km780MX and everytime I plug the keyboard in it just pulls up the CRP1 ENABLD drive

Snebbik,

If you aren't pressing down on the pinhole switch when plugging it in (and you've already copied in the correct firmware BIN file), and it's still giving you the CRP1 ENABLD drive, then the switch is probably stuck. Try inserting a paper clip in the pinhole and click a few times to see if you can get the switch to un-stick.

If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to RMA the keyboard.
