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?
