I have used my Microkontrol for a few years now and it has worked great but last night I went to us it (via usb connection) and the power would just flash. So I unplugged usb and plugged in power adpater - Samething happened power just flash. I tried to reinstal the driver through Windows XP sp 2 Device Manager and the Korg is showing up in some weird mode. The device shows as "mK version up mode" device . Anyway before I take apart this controller I wanted to make sure this is not something dumb.

Thanks

In case anyone is reading this - I took apart my microKontrol and one of the ribbon cables came completely unplugged. So dont through your comtroller down the street just yet. Go get a small phillips head and plug the cable back in. Word word word!

Thanks for sharing the solution ... will be useful for someone else I am sure !

Cheers,

thankyou!

found this thread as top search result in google for "mK version up mode"

fixed it in about a minute.

unit was for a friend, ordered overseas, was feeling bad his controller didn't work on arrival.
after reading this i called the store and they said to have a go at fixing it.
and if i couldn't, they'd still fix/replace it, which was pretty cool

so yeh, this thread saved another postage ordeal.
