First the uppdate kills the keyboard and i restarted but nothing, still dead. Uppdated drivers and so on. So i tried your way but no same problem. In pure desperation i started the 2.0 firmware uppdate and noticed No device detected. Solution was simple... I pressed the Fn key and hold it for about two seconds... And poff the firmware started uppdating. Note: If you hold the Fn key longer, the install will repeat over and over :D Win 7 x64 with a Razor Black Widow (Standard) | ||

I finally managed to fix it this evening based on ideas from this web site: http://gevil.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/razer-black-widow-ultimate-firmware-update-failure-and-how-to-solve-it/ I had tried the latests firmware update (Razer_BlackWidow_FirmwareUpdater_v1.08) but it could not detect the keyboard but the following procedure worked : 1. I uninstalled everything (BlackWidow software and firmware update) 2. download an old firmware version and installed it (v1.05 from http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=531) 3. at that moment your keyboard should be detected in the Windows device manager as a Razer Bootloader 4. launch the firmware update program... it detects the keyboard, flash and reset it. 5. YES !! blue leds are back... keyboard is working !!! Gratz .. you got your keyboard back  Hopes that helps ! Thank You a million times I thought my keyboard was dead forever <3 | ||

It isn't appearing under my keyboard devices, but under USB it shows up as Razr bootloader, but it says its completely updated. How do I go about starting the firmware 2.0 udpate? Someone please help.  I tried plugging it into another computer, but it still didn't wasn't recognized for some reason and wouldn't work. What the fuck is going on? Argh. | ||

Hey, I just registered here to help you fix you keyboard I faced the same problem a while ago and fixed it after a bit of searching.Here's what you need to do. Pre 1. Uninstall all Razer crap. Restart. Download a fresh copy of Synapse: http://www.razerzone.com/synapse/ 1. Unplug the keyboard. 2. Download this: http://www.userdrivers.com/Keyboard-Mouse/Razer-BlackWidow-Keyboard-Firmware-Updater-2-05-03-for-Windows-XP-Vista-7-8-x86-x64/download/ 3. Exit Synapse. Run the above program. Press 'Next' (or whatever it says) 4. Hold down the Fn key on your keyboard and plug it in. 5. The update process will start (and end) quickly. 6. Run Synapse. It will take a while to update. Follow instructions, restart. Your keyboard might start working at step 5 too (I don't remember if the Synapse update is necessary. I think it is). Anyway, once you do all of the above, your keyboard will be brought back to life. P.S. Remember, this will only work if your keyboard was detected in bootloader mode my the device manager. | ||

I did everything you said but when it comes to plugging my keyboard it says hardware not detected. I did press the function key but nothing happened. What exactly i should uninstall? Just razor stuff from program manager or do i have to go specific directory to uninstall additional stuff? | ||

1. Uninstall averything Razer related( if you use Razer mouse too, don't worry it will still work) 2. Download Razer synapse and wait until it updates. 3. Restart your computer(as it says when you finish the update to the program) Link to the software: https://razerdrivers.s3.amazonaws.com/drivers/Synapse2/win/Razer_Synapse_Framework_v1.18.19.25502.exe That's it, you are good to go. I hope this helps you | ||

I'm just bumping this thread up, since yesterday, something similar happened to me. For the story : My keyboard was working perfectly fine, it is probably the best gaming keyboard i've ever had. I went afk for a good three hours, watching TV. None went on my computer or anything, so I assume no weird command or key pressing happened. I came back to the computer, and I noticed my BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma just stopped working. Just like that, it was dead in my hand. So I spent a good 7 hours looking around the internets, I tried everything I found on this thread and others, and sadly, nothing worked for me... The problem seems to be that my keyboard isnt even recognized as a Razer Bootloader. I tried to plug it in my girlfriend's computer, it didn't recognized it at all, the computer even refused to start with a lovely "Keyboard error" message in the BIOS. The only place it seems to be bearly recognized is on my girlfriend's tablet. I plug it in, and it recognizes it as an "unknown USB device". Do you guys have any idea how to get it back to life ? Or is it dead for good and I can sit on my 200€ ? ------------------------------------------ EDIT : I found out how to make it work again. I plugged it in a computer at work wich has an USB 3.0 plug (the blue ones). The keyboard immediatly came back to life. So I brought it home and now it works again. But now it randomly shut down and I have to plug it in the USB 3.0 at work again to make it work again. Razer pls. | ||

I found the problem is because my Razer Blackwidow ULTIMATE was the old edition (2012 or 2013) that uses blue backlighting instead of green, and the firmware updaters linked were not the right ones that I needed. The firmware that fixed the problem for me was found at . . . http://www.filehelp.info/drivers/firmware/razer/razer-blackwidow-ultimate-keyboard-firmware-2-05-03/download Because this is the one for the Blackwidow ULTIMATE! | ||

All I did was open task manager, scrolled down to razerhid.exe in processes, and ended the process. Keyboard instantly gets recognized, light turns on, etc. I'll post back here if it turns out to be a band-aid fix. This guy saved my life since 2012 and this is 2017. LOL | ||
