python
import usb.core

def fix_cue_error():
# Find the Corsair device using USB vendor and product IDs
vendor_id = 0x1b1c
product_id = 0x1b13
dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=vendor_id, idProduct=product_id)

if dev is None:
print("No Corsair device detected. Please check the connection.")
return

# Perform necessary actions to fix the error
# For example, you could reset the device or reinstall the driver

# Once the error is fixed, print a success message
print("Error 'No device detected' in Corsair Utility Engine has been resolved.")

# Call the function to fix the error
fix_cue_error()

Otherwise, you can add the necessary actions within the `fix_cue_error()` function to resolve the error.
