## Setting the board to bootloader mode
If you're lucky, the programming script does this automagically for you. If
however this doesn't work for you, you need to enter the bootloader mode manually
by plugging the keyboard in while holding the bootloader key. If you did this
correctly the LEDs will blink and you'll be able to flash your firmware.
The bootloader key is the top left key of your matrix. For a standard board
from winkeyless.kr this is `L_Ctrl`, but for some custom boards running ps2avrGB
this might be different. For the Pearl it's `Esc`, for a b.fake it is `q`. If
you're unsure you should be able to see the key in the bootmapper client.
## Troubleshooting
From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
1. Try plugging the board in while holding the bootloader key. This will force
it to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
