Hi folks,
I just received my Recoil II 15" today.
Key spec: GTX1060 / 2GB HDD / 500GB Evo 970 SSD / 144Hz panel
After activating windows and updating the graphics driver I booted into the BIOS to alter the boot sequence.
Following that, I got stuck in loop where Windows wouldn't boot and I came back to the BIOS screen. At this stage the keyboard was unresponsive and unilluminated. An external keyboard was intermittently responsive.
Eventually took the back panel off an disconnected / reconnected the battery to clear the CMOS settings.
After that it started OK, but the keyboard was producing random characters - like # when hitting the main enter key.
Shut it down, and came back to it after 20mins, everything working fine. 20mins later the keyboard lights go out and it stops responding.
I get the feeling it's hardware related - possibly a faulty keyboard / USB controller (given the external one was dodgy too) and something's coming loose on heating.
I've contacted tech support at PCS but was wondering if any of you guys have suggestions that I could try without needing to send it back in the first instance!
Bit gutted, but hopefully I can get it sorted soon.
