    I have the problem with no lights on my keyboard or sensor keys (e.g eject volume etc). What is worst is I don't have a warranty anymore so trying to sort it out. The problem happened when I upgraded the CC software, stright after the upgrade everything went out. I have looked at a lot of things (and fresh installs) and I see I have a device under my USB devices that isn't working with a "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and was wondering if that was the FX board. I was hoping someone could tell me what it should be by comparing my list with yours.

    I have
    •Generic USB Hub
    •Generic USB Hub
    •Generic USB Hub
    •Intel(R) 5 series/3400 Series Shipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3b34
    •Intel(R) 5 series/3400 Series Shipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3b3c
    •Unknown Device USB <= device not working
    •Composite Device USB Root Hub
    •USB Root Hub



    and if interested the current issue I'm getting is the Dotnet error when the computer is restarted about a null reference (expect it is the hardware) and no Zones in the applicaiton.



    Thanks for you help

    Have you tried a powerdrain? Turn of computer, take out battery, unplug power and hold powerbutton for 30sec. Then turn on again and see if it works.

    Thanks for the reply, yes I have, no joy, I'm just in the process of downgrading my BIOS to see if this can up.
