  9. questionMy Sensei locked up during the firmware upgrade; how can I fix it?
    1. Refer to the picture in the link below and make sure that you are not plugged in to any of these places. The USB 3.0 port is OK to use but try using both a 3.0 port and 2.0 port. Since 3.0 provides more power, it may be the better alternative. http://cdn.steelseries.com/userguides/Support/AV ...
