Dude, next round on me! You saved my day! I was ready to buy a new wireless mouse until I saw your video. I put the transceiver in my regular oven at 450 F for 5 min. Connected to my laptop and it worked!. The tricky part was to reassemble the transceiver, so I recommend taking pictures so you remember how to reassemble it
Oh wow! I can't thank you enough. In my 3rd attempt I was able to make it work. I dropped my laptop while the receiver was plugged in and it stopped working. I used the big convection oven, 400 F for 11 minutes.
Another thumbs up here! Thank you very much for this video! I've just saved my USB dongle. Used an electric oven, 220ºC, +/- 10min. Everything works now!
My laptop fell with the dongle in it. The dongle side hit the ground. after that I had to put downward pressure on the dongle to make it work. I tried 400 degrees F (full size oven) for about 8 minutes. Seems to be working just fine now. Thanks for the tip. Way better than trying to solder those tiny pieces!
Thanks a lot for making this. I managed to revive what I thought was an entirely dead keyboard and receiver. The black plastic casing did not come off as easy for me as in the video, but I was able to gently pry it off. Baked on 200 C for 5 mins.
Excellent! It worked for my Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard & Mouse. Regular oven, 230°C for 5 minutes. (Several attempts at lower temperatures did not work.)
same issue i had face today! I applied it my problem was solved, I'm very happy! 1000% working, this is only 1 video on RUclips according to my issue 😍👍
This works. Thank you. The only issue is that my mouse does not scroll, I suspect some circuits responsible for scrolling did not reconnect properly? Otherwise all good. Once again, thank you JJ.
WOW!! I am so happy I saw your video. At first I was skeptical... but I tried it and it worked! I damaged my USB receiver and both the keyboard and mouse did not connect to my laptop. I have a Microsoft sculpt ergonimic set and I was devastated as Microsoft discontinued the sculpt keyboards. I baked it in a pre-heated regular oven at 450F for 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thanks JJ for this video. The only issue I had was that I don't have a toaster oven and you need a higher temperature for a regular oven. After several test runs, I ended up having to set my oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
I let it in the oven for 180, 230, 250 for 5 minutes each. It didn't work at all. Eventually got bored and let it sit 15 minutes and after I came back it was burned to crisp. So listen to the guy and watch it while baking.
great video, but I was wondering if it's fine to use a regular stove oven instead of a toaster oven. my toaster oven broke and the only option I've got left is the stove oven
My portable monitor fell on dongle while plugged in and bent/cracked the casing. I've gone through 4 rounds of 5 minutes at 300, and 5 minutes at 400 in air fryer on bake setting. Do I need to go longer per bake session? I'm so afraid to burn it! Or is it just broken beyond repair?
Hi, just watched the video. I haven't used the mouse for a long time. Now it doesn't work. So there is no damage. Will it work if I put it in the oven? Thank you.
I bought my Scuplt keyboard/mouse combo in a secondhand store. Soon after I took it home to try it, it started having connectivity problems. I read online, and found the problem to be quite common. Someone suggested moving the dongle close to the keyboard, so I put it on the end of a USB extension cord, and put it right on the desk by the keyboard. This has worked very well for a few months. Occasionally I have to unplug it and plug it in again. But just the other night it started failing. Now I'm getting a few minutes of use, and then I have to unplug/plug again. I'm tempted to try your method. It sure would be nice to know exactly which component is the culprit, as I have a heat station, and could aim the hot air exactly at the trouble spot. I also have an electric hotplate (for phone/tablet repair). I might be tempted to try that.
Doesn’t seems to work for mine … mine was Microsoft wireless 900 desktop … the transreceiver was a little bent … and I couldn’t get the chip out of the case/holder … tried using various methods and doesn’t seem to work … is there any way that something can be done to replace the old transreceiver or make it work ?
Another way is to use a clothes iron and let it heat fully. place dongle on the irons hot plate with the components facing up. should take aprox 30 to 60 seconds. In the industry it's called reflowing the solder and this way you can visibly see the solder start to shine and liquify. Remember to never touch the piece with you bare hands. Use tweezers to remove and place on a plate to let it cool down.
I FIXED MY KEYBOARD USING ANOTHER METHOD. The matching numberpad was in a box with one of the keys held down by a book. Fixing this also fixed the keyboard, as the numberpad was not continuously transmitting rogue characters. Also, check the keyboard batteries, sometimes replacing a flat battery can fix the issue. Once I tried three sets before I found one that worked. My apologies for caps, but I figured it this might save someone a lot of grief as it took me an hour to figure this out.
Thanks a lot! It's unbelievable all the comments saying this worked for them!! I thought this was a total sham until I read the comments uggh. Not one bad review, c'mon seriously!!! Someone owes me a Dirty Dongle .. 😭
Sorry it didn't work for u. Btw some do say it didn't work. I do mention it doesn't always work it's just something u can try when all other hope has faded and it does actually work pretty often
it didn't work at first then it woked but I get this message "USB device not recognized The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
you could use an oven. some people bake their mother board in the oven. just make sure you open the oven door after you finish the process for about 30 mins and use a fan to remove all the toxic fumes. also have your home windows (real windows not the ones in the computer :) open at the time.
Hello! I baked the chip for 3 mins at 180C which didn't work, so tried it again at 200C for 7 mins and my laptop recognised something was plugged in but I got a warning saying there's a power surge in the USB port so I removed it. Anyone have any ideas?
You can't get another usb receiver for the Microsoft keyboards/mice. Apparently they are "individually matched." Only Logitech has a "unifying receiver" that you can pair with any device. Really though, it wouldn't be hard for Microsoft to come up with a pairing software, but they choose not to do it (probably more money to be made by selling more keyboards/mice, when the dongle breaks or gets lost).
Is this metod really working? I have exactly the same "problem" with my keyboard (your same model) and I tried several times to contact the microsoft assistance for this...of course, no solutions
I created the video the day i baked it and it's still working. It's not guaranteed but i saw another video suggesting the same and i see in the comments of that video it works for a lot of people. Let me know if it worked for u
what are substance are you on sir, i nearly burnt my house down, thing set on fire after 2 seconds and is now.................fully burnt, thank you for your services!
Não dá para acreditar, parece brincadeira mas funciona mesmo. Só tive dificuldades para tirar o receptor do plástico. Coloquei 5 minutos no forno a 180⁰c
@@matan_shimon if your black plastic part is still intact u can reassemble it. Otherwise if u can't then yes u can duck tape the black plastic to the module (green & gold part) but make sure you don't cover the 4 metal lines that connect to the computer. Good luck
Sorry to hear. This fix olny works if you had a connectivity problem on the module. I would try to heat it up a little longer to see if it helps but this fix is of course not guaranteed to work for everyone
This is an excellent presentation, and really I would like to know how you knew to bake the board. You must have worked in the ic industry, or have a drinking buddy who does. This video should receive wide distribution based on valuable content. Perhaps you would provide an opinion on whether heat could be applied to circuits connecting the push-activated switches on a a modern PC keyboard. Cheers! Mike2 Anchorage, AK
Not 3-5 minutes lol TOASTY (mortal kombat dude) but seriously would be cool if it was for our chargers instead and charge phone from a distance literally wireless 😉🔌⚡️
Thank you so much! Bent my sculpt USB dongle yesterday and heat it with 230°C 10 minutes, now it's working! You save my day.

Watched this video on a whim. Pulled Mouse and Keyboard out of the trash. Cooked 10 min @ 390 F
It works! Thank you!!
You sir, deserves a national award!
THIS FIXED MY RAZER NARI ULTIMATE HEADSET I LOVEEEE YOUUUUUUUU
can you help me? im trying to fix mine too
@@salmanmosawi243 if you do exactly what he did it fixes it, i did everything he did except i used my air fryer
Baking it for 7 minutes at 220 ºC fixed it for me - many thanks
Oh wow! I can't thank you enough. In my 3rd attempt I was able to make it work. I dropped my laptop while the receiver was plugged in and it stopped working.
I used the big convection oven, 400 F for 11 minutes.
You save my keyboard from flying outside of the window. Thank you !

Just got the same problem.. what did you do to fixed it?
wow it worked!! hardest part was definitely the plastic removal. I did 385 degrees F in the oven for 8 minutes.
Thanks a lot, worked like a charm! 7 minutes @ 425F in a regular prewarmed oven 🙂
Thanks a lot! Using the oven to re-solder the connections on the dongle worked on my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 3000 v2.0.
same issue i had face today! I applied it my problem was solved, I'm very happy! 1000% working, this is only 1 video on RUclips according to my issue 😍👍

Yes that could be the case

Thanks for the video. I ended up baking my dongle up to 400 degrees for 9 minutes for mine and that seamed to do the fix.
Thanks JJ for this video. The only issue I had was that I don't have a toaster oven and you need a higher temperature for a regular oven. After several test runs, I ended up having to set my oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

Worked for me too ... i had to do it twice though as the first time didn't get the job done ... 2 x 5mins @ 180C - thank you so much for the tip !
great video, but I was wondering if it's fine to use a regular stove oven instead of a toaster oven.
my toaster oven broke and the only option I've got left is the stove oven
I've used hot air gun; 5 minutes work at 300 degree Celsius did the job, thanks!

thanks for the video, will never buy a microsoft product again.
Thanks so much this worked!🎉
Worked for me. Its the second time. It seems that i have to do it a lot of times in the future. But it works
i really appreciate it, you helped me fix the dongle viper v2 pro. thank you again
U welcome. Glad it works!
This is the comment I was looking for. I got an Amazon refurbished one, and the dongle worked for approximately 3 before being totally unresponsive.
you my friend are a complete Legend !! I cant believe it actually worked !!
Man freaking awesome, I totally forgot about the xbox ring of death fix to bake it also lol

Worked like a charm. Had to destroy the case though but hey 👍
How does this even work, are we melting the solder??
Yep

The green & gold. Let me know if it worked
Ok thanks bro, after I'll do that.

Thanks! I worked in intel for 7 years
The baking technique is also used by some people to try and fix Graphics Cards.
how can I bake in oven? Is it I need to wrap with something?
Just place it on some tin foil. No need to wrap it
Not worked at all. Tried 3 times with no success :(
Baking the hardware to get it work! Someone should fire the mircrosoft enginnering team!
Not 3-5 minutes lol TOASTY (mortal kombat dude) but seriously would be cool if it was for our chargers instead and charge phone from a distance literally wireless 😉🔌⚡️

use a microphone next time. can't hear or understand you
did not work
Too much talk than it should take.. make it simpler... and your videos would've been awesome
