is there a number to call these guys? I need to talk to someone verbally not some AI chat

native instruments really need a call number

There is no direct support number.

This the support portal:

Product Support – Native Instruments

Open a ticket and someone will get back to you.

And very important to remember - dependant on where you are in the world - it could already be the weekend in Germany. Support does not work on weekends.

I still need a call back number.

What’s so wrong or so bad that they don’t have a call back number.

You won't get one, because there isn't one. We all have to use the same system. Once a ticket is created a human will respond - by email.

Did you actually go to the link displayed on the KB screen and check the articles there?

As you've found the forum, why not walk us through what you're doing prior to that message in detail rather than just "having trouble" and then hopefully one of the experienced members (or NI staff) will be able to help.

My power went out during the firmware update to my komplete kontrol MK3 and now I get this on my keyboard screen

and it seems like it don’t want to update. How do I fix this issue? I need help asap. It’s been like this for 2 weeks and I’m gotten tired of this whole brand period. Can someone please help me with this problem please 🙏.

Do not believe anyone on these boards can do a remote hardware diagnostic on a keyboard.

Instead of eating more time posting here - you should consider getting a ticket going.

Now you see why a 1-800 number is so important in the consumer market business. Why they can’t just have a call back number. What’s so hard about putting up a 1-800 number, so that the wall that little bit can’t get a better understanding through verbal communication.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you but that is not anyone’s business except NI.

The bottom line is that there is no number.

Ok then, how do I resolve this situation with the komplete kontrol MK3 it’s stuck in this

mode and I’m really getting tired of not getting any help from native instruments. How do you do a hard factory reset on the komplete kontrol MK3 so that I can stop seeing this

on my keyboard.

You alone - might not be able to do anything. Only NI Support can tell you what is going on there.

Do understand that there can be very rare situations where a power loss during a firmware update can permanently (and irreversibly) brick a device.

If this were me and I was confronted with that screen - I would leave it to the pros. You may find more messing around will lead to something more ominous.

Only support can determine how severe this is.

Why is it so hard opening a ticket on support site?

As I don't work at NI and also being just a customer I can only make guesses about the reasons for not offering phone support. But I expect that it is much cheaper for NI. Other reasons are that you can file your support issues 24/7 worldwide and someone at NI can get back to it when office hours start. A written ticket can be better transferred to other specialists on complex topics if needed. And on a phone line you have to wait until an agent can pick up your call - please wait… Current waiting time is approximately 90 minutes. Hate this. And if your case cannot be dealt with by first level (which is usually almost everything what you cannot sort out yourself) they even don't do much more as creating a support ticket.

Other advantage of mail support: You have a written proof of what NI granted you (or didn't).

My experience with support via Chatbot and Ticket at NI is quite good. Of course could be quicker sometimes but my last issues were resolved in less than 24 hours (not at weekends) and all my issues were sorted out in a good way for me.

Do anyone know how to hard reset the komplete kontrol MK3 please. Every time I try to update the firmware I get this

And my komplete kontrol mk3 is showing this

So I’m trying to figure out, is the keyboard itself or is it the software. I think the keyboard is the problem, because it’s not letting the software update the firmware on the keyboard itself. So do or did anyone else have or had issues or a similar problem like this.

Repeatedly posting the same question and picture isn't going to help matters.

You didn't answer my previous question - did you open the website mentioned on the keyboard screen and follow the instructions there? The exact message you're seeing is covered on the support page.
