Hold down Model Select Button for FX2 while you switch the power on. If you are getting stuck in the Flash Update Mode on power up it's because the model select button for FX1 is sticking in the down position. Holding the same button for FX3 lets you adjust the leds (this is actually in the faq and is what made me think hey what if i try that with the other select buttons). I haven't tried FX4 model select to see what it does.

I think i accidentally double posted my last thing. Anyhow M13 worked for an hor and now has gone back to what appears to be the factory boot screen. Screen 1 says Flash Update Mode, Waiting Command.... 2nd screen says Factory Boot V0.02.0b. this second screen makes me think that the firmware chip is either not seated/soldered properly or is in need of replacement. My M13 was manufactured sometime in 2005 (there is a signature and date of factory inspection on the back) but it is brand new from the store and I only just bought it today. T

I just bought an M13 today (so excited). Got home plugged it in and it did exactly what you are describing (so disappointed). Turned it off and on again..... same, repeat.......same.plugged in my usb midi and tried to update with midi ox....... nothing. Turned off then on..... nothing. Plugged in my Audiobox USB to use it's midi. Had to download the drivers for the audiobox. While I was waiting I had the crazy idea to unplug the power and turn the M13 on to make sure anything internal that could be was electrically discharged. Replugged the power and turned it on, got a different sequence of lights on starting up but still no dice. Progress! After repeating the process a few times of unplug power and turn on (without power cable connected) then replugging power and turning on it is now 100% functional. I am currently updating to firmware 2.04.00 (it was originally saying v0.02b or sum such on the second screen while it wasn't working) but so far that seems to have woken this thing up and got it out of it's coma. It just finished the update and rebooted itself perfectly.
