Reply to Help!! noobastic problems

hi-
mf noob here and having no luck getting my midifighter to work with traktor. i have tried on both a pc and a mac and nothing. the machines always recognize the device and i can load the mappings but then nothing happens.
i am sure there are a million threads that could help me but i must zero reading comprehension because the tutorials on here are not helping me.

the lights do light up. when i first plug in the bottom right first lights up and then eventually the top left and then it moves over one to the right and then disappears, no light.

i can get into menu mode.

i can do the four corners thing and get the checker board pattern of lights.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
