MK1 may be bricked

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, I have a question. My Mk1 lights up when I plug the USB into it. But the screens remain blank. I'm using PC (Win10) and the PC recognizes the device being plugged in but not the device itself. Is there a way to reset or restart the hardware or do I just need to scrap it and get another Maschine?

I don't know of any way to reset it. Have you tried the firmware updater?

provided you have installed the necessary mk1 drivers, and you are not connecting through a hub you should be good

theres only ever one other issue that can arise when connecting to a windows 10 pc

which has alot to do with how windows handles drivers…
