My Spark Controller is dead
« on: October 07, 2011, 09:45:47 pm »
Hi,
my Spark Controller is not powering on anymore, when i switch it ON the display lights up for a second and after that nothing, totally dead.
- I tried launching the software (Standalone and other versions)
- I tried launching the Spark MIDI MAP Software
- I tried using an external power supply
- I tried using another USB port
- I restarted the computer

Nothing happens, there is a way to reset the controller?
Is this maybe a firmware problem?

Thanks for help.

EDIT: forgot to insert my machine, I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13" Core2Duo 2.4ghz 4gb ram.

When I switch on my Spark, if I switch the switch all the way it won't power up, but when I rock the switch partly back from it's on position & then let it go back to on my Spark will then power up. I am not sure if this means the switch is faulty or not
        Good luck with yours,
                       regards,

Tried, not working, but thanks for helping me.

I think it's just a Firmware problem, maybe I need to reset the Spark Controller to its factory settings, but I don't know how to do that..
I hope the support will answer ASAP because I need to use it..

I really don't know how to solve this, I tried everything, I need to use the controller this week-end (that's almost over..).

No one can help me with this?
There is someone who knows a way to hard reset the firmware to factory settings?
Maybe there's a combination of buttons to press while I switch it ON, like other stuff.

Thanks.

did you try to update the firmware and for a reason the process was stopped before the end?
