Introduction
Resetting an Onn gaming keyboard can seem a daunting activity, but it doesn’t have to be. This blog post will provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to reset your gaming keyboard. Whether you’ve inadvertently changed a setting or want to restore the default settings, this guide will provide the information and instructions you need to get back on track.
Steps To Reset Onn Gaming Keyboard
Firstly, you’ll need to switch off your gaming keyboard and disconnect it from your PC. Once the keyboard is off and disconnected, look for a small button on the back or underside. Usually, this will be labeled ‘Reset’, though your specific model may have slightly different naming. Press and hold the reset button for at least 5 seconds until you hear an audible beep from the keyboard. This indicates that the reset has been successful.
Next, you’ll need to plug your gaming keyboard back into your PC, turn it on, and wait for your operating system to recognize the keyboard. When prompted, follow the instruction menus to finish the setup process. Depending on your operating system version, you may need to confirm that the setup is now complete. Once the setup is finalized, you will be able to use your gaming keyboard as normal.
Some gaming keyboards may also require you to input a code in order to reset the device. In this case, you will need to consult the instruction manual or check the manufacturer’s website for the correct code. Once you have the code, just enter it into your keyboard and the reset should start automatically.
If you have any issues during the reset process, such as a blank screen or an error message, try unplugging the keyboard and then reconnecting it. Once the connection is established, try performing the reset process again. If all else fails, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician to help you troubleshoot the device.
Using a Keyboard Shortcut To Reset Your Onn Gaming Keyboard
To reset your gaming keyboard using a keyboard shortcut, simply press and hold the ‘Fn’ key followed by the ‘Reset’ key for at least 5 seconds. You should then hear a beep, indicating that the reset process has begun.
Once the reset has completed, you will be able to use your gaming keyboard again without any issues. This approach may prove more convenient than using a reset button, especially if your gaming keyboard is harder to access than usual.
However, it’s worth noting that not all Onn gaming keyboards have a ‘Reset’ key. If you’re unable to find a reset key or shortcut, you may have to resort to a hardware reset. In this case, you’ll need to use a small object such as a paperclip, needle, or pen to press the reset button on the keyboard.
Updating Firmware
As part of the reset process, you may have to update the firmware of your Onn gaming keyboard. To update the firmware, access the manufacturer website and click on the ‘Downloads’ section. Here, you should be able to find the latest version of the firmware for your specific model.
Once the firmware is downloaded, double-click on it and follow the on-screen instruction menus to complete the update process. It’s important to note that you should only download and install firmware from the official manufacturer website, as downloading from a third-party might cause issues with your gaming keyboard.
Once the firmware is updated, your gaming keyboard should be back to its original factory settings. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check that all the settings have been restored.
Restoring Default Settings
If you’ve inadvertently changed a setting or want to restore the default settings of your Onn gaming keyboard, you may have to reset it and then reinstall the software. To do this, open the manufacturer software, click ‘Settings’, and then choose ‘Reset to Default’.
Your Onn gaming keyboard should now be reset to the factory settings. However, if you’ve changed any settings prior to resetting the keyboard, these changes may have been saved in the software. To make sure the settings have been reset, try changing a few settings to check that the changes have been applied.
Checking Your Keyboard Drivers
If your Onn gaming keyboard is still malfunctioning after resetting it, check that the keyboard drivers are correctly installed and enabled on your PC. To do this, open the Device Manager and look for the keyboard entry. If the driver is marked with a yellow exclamation mark, right-click on it and select ‘Update Driver’.
Once the driver is updated, check that the device is registered correctly by restarting your computer and then testing the keyboard. If the keyboard is still not working properly, uninstall the driver completely and then reinstall it from the manufacturer’s website. This approach should resolve any hard issues with your Onn gaming keyboard.
Restoring Factory Settings via the Manufacturer Software
If you’ve changed settings in the manufacturer software prior to resetting your Onn gaming keyboard, you will need to roll them back. To do this, open the manufacturer software and look for the ‘Settings’ menu. In this menu, you should be able to find a button labeled ‘Restore to Factory Settings’. Once you click this button, all settings changes you’ve made should be reversed.
For more advanced settings changes, you may have to access the ‘Advanced Settings’ menu or the ‘Custom Settings’ menu. Through these menus, you will have access to full control over your gaming keyboard settings. Be sure to read the instructions carefully before making any changes, as they may have a major impact on your gaming experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, resetting your Onn gaming keyboard doesn’t have to be a difficult task. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you should be able to reset your gaming keyboard in no time. It’s also important to check that your keyboard drivers are properly installed and up to date, and to make sure any changes you’ve made to the software settings have been reverted. With these tips, you should be able to get your gaming keyboard back up and running without any issues.
