Midifighter Top-Left LED Problem (Win7 X64)

[Autorobo]

Hello Everyone

I recently have defeated a problem that has left my MidiFighter worthless for 4 months.
I speak of the Led of Death...
What happens is once you plug your MidiFighter into your Pc...All you get is the top led on the left side to light up...

Whell its taken quite some time but after much research I have Fixed this sole problem, and of course its a driver signature problem.

Step 1: You are going to need to put your MidiFighter into a DFU state.
To do this you are going to have too put jumpers into the Boot holes and the restart holes on your MidiFighters Left side
See this tutorial: Click Here!

Step 2: Next you are going to need a series of Things. First the ATMEL Flip program found found here: Atmel Flip 3.4.2
Be sure to Uninstall any previous versions of this program
and then install this version!

Then the .Hex file for the update
.Hex File as of 3/13/11

Next this is IMPORTANT!
You NEED these drivers
Flip Signed Drivers

Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.2\usb and replace the files in this folder with the ones you have downloaded

Step 3:
You will need to go to Devices and Printers


And then
Go to Hardware and Sound


And finally Device manager


And you will have something along the lines of this...


Now you are going to want to find the MidiFighter in its DFU state
I cant show you this because I already did mine.
So find it and Update the Driver by Right clicking it and selecting update driver.

When you do this you will want to "Browse Computer for Driver Software"
and the location is the same C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.2\usb

Click next and let it go

After that go to the Flip Program and Click the image of the chip.
Then select AT90USB162

Then press Ctrl+U On your keyboard and then click Open.

Once it connects go to File, Load Hex file, and select the previously downloaded Hex file.

Then Run in the left corner

And you should be set.

can you please post a working link for the signed drivers? i can't find them anywhere on Atmel's site. copying those drivers is the only thing you've done differently, and i have yet to be able to flash my Midifighter from my own PC. it's my understanding that there's been recent Atmel support updates for Win7x64.

and another question --what do you mean by the LED-of-death problem? i mean i get what you're saying, but aside from the LED, what was wrong with it?

Its not on the Atmel Site. Whether or not Atmel has included Win7 x64, Is beyond my knowledge.

It pretty much doesn't respond to anything. The computer doens't even recognize its existence until you jump it with small wires. It was essentially a dead device.

If you need more help PM me and ill gladly try my best to assist

Thank you. This solved my dead midi fighter problem. Couldn't have done it without this very, VERY helpful post.

My Midifighter doesn't show up in Device Manager and when I run Flip and press Ctrl-U, I get "AtLibUsbDfu.dll not found".

Are you sure this is the right link? I'm confused and not sure where I find what I'm supposed to download with this link.
