I can not get it out of 1.3. Please help. Thanks, Ean |

| 11.11.2008 | make sure the first button works - if it does continue on: with the unit off: hold down the first button- and turn the power on once all the lights are on release the button. you must do this every time you power down the unit. hope that helps! |
| Adolf Hit 10.11.2008 | Hey dude, Can you confirm that while in 1,3 the loop A button sends midi as expected. The only reason your unit would not go into 1.2 if you have the SE firmware programmed is if this button was some how broken. Otherwise you are just not following the instructions correctly If your not already doing this make sure you hold Loop A untill the VCI is recognised by the computer, and that you are holding the button down when you switch the VCI on. Good luck. |

| 06.11.2008 | how do you know its not re-booting in 1.2? read this post here: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=1457 to determine the firmware. if you correctly installed 1.3 then you should be able to boot into 1.2 |
| Mike Raymond 04.11.2008 | Hello, I bought a VCI-100 about 6 weeks ago, it was the 1.2 firmware version. I just purchased the VCI-100 SE overlay and the firmware update kit. The update went fine, but when I try to reboot in the 1.2 firmware it does not work. I have tried buy holding down the first loop button and turning on the unit and also buy holding down each one of the other buttons. I can not get it back to the 1.2 firmware. I just bought Traktor Pro and only have the 1.3 firmware control options. I am not very happy with my results. Do you guys have any answers for my problems. Thanks, DJ64beats |
| Cristian Carmona 31.10.2008 | google: driver of usb to serial and the model u have Good luck |
| Vincent Wantah 31.10.2008 | oups! i don't have any driver disk... i've bought it on ebay, there wasn't any driverdisk in the package, i believe i'll have to do it with a serial ti serial cable ... i'll give it a shot ... |
| Sergey Boyko 31.10.2008 | this might sound a bit stupid but do you have the drivers for your serial to usb? I couldnt figure out what the boot error was on mine either untill I realized I lost the driver disk. |
| Vincent Wantah 30.10.2008 | hi, thenks for giving me a hand with this, I did want Ean recommends to do if you hav a serial to usb cable, which is my case, i tried with some other vlues, higher thas '1000' but it didn't work neither!!! I really don't know how to do this ... |
| Adolf Hit 29.10.2008 | Hi DjBroka, The cable which you move to fit the upgrade kit should stay removed untill the firmware update is completed. Read all the posts in the support section and you should be fine. PM me if this does not help you. |
| 29.10.2008 | Please read all the posts in the firmware support section. Almost every concievable problem has been covered there but you really must read the posts. They are all very helpful. |
| Cristian Carmona 29.10.2008 | I believe you have to change the COMM settings being that usb sends the data faster here is the post Ean put up. Good Luck http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=1042 |
| Vincent Wantah 29.10.2008 | yes i am, is that a problem? :O |
| Cristian Carmona 29.10.2008 | are you using a usb to serial cable? |
