Greetings - I appear to have really #@(*)(*%&ed up my K3. While updating the firmware, I accidentally hit either a key on the computer keyboard or one of the mouse buttons. The K3 Utility window "grayed out" and the K3 is stuck in MCU Load, no backlight, TX LED flashing.
Setup: Astron 50A PSU; K3 # 2768 with new KIO3B board; direct USB connection to Lenovo Thinkpad running WIN7 Home Premium; K3 Util v 1.16.7.25. Computer and K3 Utility both recognize the COM port; latest FTDI drivers installed. Yes, I know there is supposed to be a cure for this, but it didn't work. I tried: 1. Restarting both the computer and the K3 a few times. 2. Remove & reconnect power supply from K3, hold POWER button to force it into bootloader mode. (which it is already in) 3. Factory reset (power on while holding SHIFT/LO button). Never got the EE INIT message. 4. Uninstall and re-install K3 Utility and try 1-3 again. 5. Uninstall and re-install front panel assembly; try 1-3 again. K3 Utility is still trying to connect and the TX LED is still flashing. Any ideas before I call tech support on Monday? Thanks. -- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
