Midifighter Mk 1.3 works just few days

Hey Guys! First i have to say the Midi fighter is a really great and cool tool! I love him very much! The midi fighter arrived last week and works great! Today in the morning he worked! I wanted to use him in the evening, and … he dident worked! I plug in the USB Cable and all lights are blue but the top-left-second is dark! i can push every button - nothing happens! I tried a reset with a peace of wire! i tried to go to the boot mode - didnt work, my pc didnt say “Hey u plugged in a Midi fighter” - i plug in the cable - lights on - nothing happens… :eek: :confused: :eek:

i hope everyone can help me!

p.s. sorry for my teenie english :smiley:
p.s.2 iam a electronic, i can solder :slight_smile:

Try to reflash the firmware.
Also, have you reset the MidiFighter yet? That might do the trick :slight_smile:

Yes, i maked a Reset with a peace of wire, and i cant reflash the firmware, because i cant go to the bootmode, the mode i have to push all corner buttons… :disappointed:

Today all lights are flashing! FTW!

I have tried now all! I can’t go in the bootloader mode! All LEDs should as soon as I put the USB cable in! If I take a finger at the AT90USB162 (with slight pressure) the LED’s be dark! sometimes dark - sometimes they light up!! I’m stumped! Have also been remeasured if the reset signal is applied to pin 24 of the AT90USB162, all right! As I said, it is not recognized as an usb device and nothing responds! I freak out! :disappointed:

Try to reflow the solders with a hot air gun, see if that helps.

When you are touching the chip you could be crossing the pins and that may cause the leds to act strange.I accidently touched across the reset pin on mine once and it went al strange and had to be reset with the jumper method.Have you tried all the reset methods given on this forum?

I dont touching on the top of the Chip, not on the Pins! It seems like the AT didnt work correct! Yes, i tried all methods of the forum! Nothing works! Today i will looking for the crystal… and the USB D+ and D- … if this is okay, i will change the AT!

Hey guys! I have some News! I wanted to measure the Clock on the Chrystal with an oscilloscope and then! ZACK BOOM! All LED’s a dark, then, the first Lights up, then the Second, then the third! my pc found a new USB device called “midi fighter”! Then i go back with my test prod and usb device isnt connected! Nothing works again… I knew it sounds funny, but i changed the chrystal and all works! later i try to go in boot mode for reflashing! :sunglasses:
