    okay im new to the forums but i have looked at any related topics and tried everything to no avail. My issue seems slightly different from what ive read. The FxTester says no board detected. But my keyboard and stuff light up blue for about 1/2 second and it repeats about every 2 seconds. As u can imagine this gets very annoying and I want either a way to get it working 100% or a way to shut it off 100%
    I have followed the steps from this link :
    Installing drivers on Area-51 m15x (Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP)
    I also have tried the power button trick. Reinstalling CC. Reinstalling windows. Reflashing bios. Only in CC 128_sp1 have i even been able to do the create a theme. although i got error message before creating it that the board wasnt running or something like that. If u need any more info please ask. Ill try anything u suggest even if i have already done it before just in case it works .
    Thanks in advance
