board....was power was off when you removed/installed the roms (via 
the rear switch) and you didn't see or smell anything when you first 
powered after installing the XL7 rom the first time?

would now will not show since i tried to install the xlead. Its not 
even in there anymore and the mp-7 rom still will not show up. It has 
to be the board everything else works it triggers midi , the lights 
all work , the ram test was fine , the fx is good the only thing 
wrong is the unit will not read roms. I dont know how this could of 
happened by just inserting then taking out the xlead. I want to try 
to get this figured out before i ship it off for a 75 benchfee just 
to look at. I iwsh i had another unit so i could check the roms but i 
dont even know anyone around here with a rack. The manual offers no 
info and i could not find anything on the web i have been digging for 
hours.

Ok so i just got home from the music store and got a yamaha usb to 
midi adaptor and it works fine i tried it with another item but now 
the midi on the mp7 is not being recoginized so i cant even do the 
update with e-loader. It is receiving midi in messages but not midi 
out ( i think ) I tried the midi diag. and it says midi loop failed 
and the mp7 does not show up anywhere. I also tried to just it as a 
control surface and trigger sounds in battery but no luck there 
either. I even took out the rams and cleaned the chasis with contact 
cleaner carefully this morning them put them back and hoped it would 
work. Any other suggestions before i send this off?
