    Default pulsating light problems

    hey guys,

    just got my midi fighter and it's awesome. I've got the led in the middle installed but when I send the midi clock out the MF's new led doesn't pulse with the beat. I read that most of the MF's coming out of DJTT are flashed with the new firmware. Is there anything wrong with trying to flash it again? or is there something more that I need to do then just send the midi clock out?

    Have you got the LED in the right way around? (Could be wrong but aren't LED diodes that only allow current one way?)

    LED = Light Emitting Diode... yes they're diodes and only work one way round! OP, are you sure you put it in the correct way round? did you check it before soldering? most likely explanation is either a dead LED or it's the wrong way round.

    did you follow EVERY STEP of the video, including the shorting out of one of the microchip connections and starting the midi clock?

    Are you sure you've got the new firmware? I think a few slipped out before getting flashed. Can you enter four banks mode described in this thread?
