K3S # 1059x, Windows 10, I noticed there was a newer firmware update available and a newer Utility program.
I downloaded the latest Utility & also downloaded the newest firmware files to the laptop & then attempted to connect with the K3S using the USB connection. It would not connect, but according to Device Manager the FTDI chip in the USB cable was working OK on COM3 but still no connection was made to the K3S. I then attempted to Force a Firmware Download as per the K3S Owner's Manual. I unplugged the radio, waited 5 seconds or so, plugged the power back in & held the POWER switch in for 10 seconds The TX LED started flashing continuously & I saw MCU LD on the LCD screen. I then attempted again to connect the K3S using the Utility program but no connection was able to be made. I switched off the power to the K3S & decided to try again. Now I can't switch the K3 ON or get back the flashing TX LED by holding in the POWER switch, its all just dead. I haven't tried the dreaded RESET as I don't think there is a saved Config file. What now, any ideas please?
