Description

Describe the Bug

Hi everyone. I've run into a bit of a problem. By accident and out of ignorance, I used QMK Toolbox to flash my MonsGeek M7 with firmware meant for the M1. Everything seemed fine, but now I can't reset the firmware. The Toolbox doesn't recognize the keyboard at all, and trying to enter bootloader mode does nothing—it just won't turn on the way it did when I first flashed it. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks
