Try the following from page 45 of the manual: Forcing a Firmware Download If you accidentally load an old or incompatible firmware version and find the K3 unresponsive, do the following: (1) unplug the K3 from the power supply and wait 5 seconds; (2) plug the power supply back in; (3) hold the K3’s POWER switch in; after about 10 seconds, you’ll see the TX LED flash (you’ll also see MCU LD on the LCD); (4) load the correct firmware version. If that doesn't work, you may have to wait until the KIO3 board is replaced. 73 & GL!
