Try doing this:
================================================
Forcing a Firmware Download

If you accidentally load an old or incompatible
firmware version and find the K3 unresponsive, do
the following:

(1) unplug the K3 from the power supply and wait 5 seconds;

(2) plug the power supply back in;

(3) hold the K3?s POWER switch in; after about 10 seconds, you?ll see  
the TX LED flash (you?ll also see MCU LD on the LCD);

(4) load the correct firmware version.
