MF Problem, One Button to Rule them All???

[Yep.]

So I got my MF in today and was messing around with it, left to go eat, came back and now when I press the lowest right hand button the whole bottom two rows light up. They also don't send MIDI notes and don't register in TSP2. Is there a way to remedy this? I've already flashed it with what I believe to be the newest firmware, I've gone into menu mode, but I can't quit menu mode, the exit button, which is the same button as the one that lights all of the other ones up (I think it's related to the same problem) and it's kind of frustrating me. I've done everything that I have found possible, but its just not working. Any ideas?

Bump?

The infamous Double Bump?

Did the computer go to sleep? I read they had a problem with some of the MF's when the computers went to sleep. Did you reset the MF with the jumper method?

I updated firmware with the new way of doing so with the buttons on the bottom of the pcb on the most recent batch of MFs. After updating the firmware, it still didn't work. However, I found that by holding button #8 and any other button in the bottom two rows, I could use that button. The final fix was to enter menu mode, select LED Feedback, turn it off, then on, and exit menu mode. I did so by holding #8 and #4 so that #4 would trigger. That's how I got it to work.

Wow, that's a pretty funky way to get it back to workin' again. It's really bad that MidiFighters keep getting messed up like this..
Anyway, good to know yours is in a working condition again! I also hope this might help other users.
