Soarer's Converter Issues: "Driver" related, Windows unrecognized?

[heyyy]

Hello everyone!

Certified Rookie here, btw. Sorry

I had bought a nice Soarer's Converter for my 122 Key Model M about a year ago, and it's been working fine up until today. Made a config I was happy about and had been using it daily.

However, today I unplugged and plugged back in my keyboard after some desk cleaning, and now Windows can't even recognize it. It used to pop up in the device manager, but now it doesn't even do that. Legitimately no clue what happened.

I tried to use Soarer's tools to put back on my configuration, but even his tools don't recognize my converter anymore.

I then tried to reflash it, being a rookie, but didn't have any luck following some threads on here and elsewhere.

Is it just broken? It's not easy to come by the converter for my keyboard, and I'm not even sure I can find one I trust online anymore.

Any help, even bad news, would be great. I hate leaving things unresolved.

I'd be so distraught if cleaning my desk ruined my keyboard

I make and sell converters that reliably work

DIN 240 for an F122. Tested meticulously before despatch, and good after sales support from someone who actually replies

Yooooooooooooo!

So glad to see that these are still available from people who enjoy these old keyboards.

I'm hoping to find a fix, but if or when I can't, I'll be handing over some cash for one of those from you.

Took my Converter apart to find that the wires holding my converter together were hanging on by a string, and only one of them was still soldered on.

I trust my soldering skills to get the thing back together, but now I have no idea what wires go where.

I'm going to try to contact the guy I bought my converter from, but on the off-chance that someone more literate in these matters than I can decipher my board, I'll link some photos.

Each connection is labeled, I just can't seem to make anything of them.





Thank you

I suspected this was the case. Did you figure it out? If not I can help
