Keyboard Kontrol S61 MK3 Firmware update failed
I downloaded the updater for firmware 1.9.4.
When I turn on my S61 it shows on the display "Looks like something went wrong. Please re-run the update on your computer. Get hel at ni.de/kontrol-setup"
When I start the updater it shows the correkt Serial Number, but shows only version 0.0.1 as installed firmware on my S61.
Starting the update by pushing the button does not bring any results.
It seems the the previous firmware installed on my keyboard ist corrupted.
Is there any possibility to make a factory reset for the S61 or is there any other chance to install a functioning firmware version?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Chat is only the entry door, for most technical support issues, it is turned into an email and a specialist gets back to you.
My colleague got back to you by email yesterday at 11:11, Berlin time. Please check your inbox, spam, filters, etc…check his troubleshooting steps and get back to him if needed.
Please avoid posting several times for the same issue. Thank you.

In the meantime I was able to solve the problem in the following way:
I kept the MK3 controller turned on the whole night to let the update process do its job.
And what a miracle! Yesterday morning the update process was completed successfully to firmware version 1.9.4 (after 8 hours of updating!)

Be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS
Do you have the NI Hardware Connection Service installed? (How to set up your Kontrol S-Series MK3)
Else try unplug the keyboard
then uninstall Hardware Connection Service if already present and remove/delete drivers
then reattach keyboard and reinstall Hardware Connection Service using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Otherwise , you might want to get a self powered USB-C hub with PD (power delivery) and quality cables that support both power and data transfer.
Or alternatively try an USB-C to A port adapter and then also attach an USB-C PSU capable of PD (my personal suggestion is 20W to compensate for any eventual PSU quality issues)

I tried all the steps as described, but nothing helps.
The keyboard seems unresponsive and show always the same error message.
I startet the updater as an administrator
but even after 30 minutes, the updater seems still to work, but nothing happens at the keyboard.
I really need professional support.
The official NI-Support opened just two tickets, but a have no reply so far. :-(

I'm still waiting for any e-mail confirmation.
I think it's a real shame that you can't submit a technical query directly on the support page; instead, everything is handled via chat. So you never know if a human will actually take care of your problem.0 -

Probably I need the NI_Support_Tool.zip which should be provided by a link in an email which I'm still missing. Please send me this email again. Thanks in advance.

I just sent it again, put your email address in CC, I also saw that you created more requests where other colleagues responded. If you still got nothing, please send me an alternative email address by direct message.
