Dick,

I assume you are using a K3 and it is locked in MCU Load state.  A hard 
reset in not normally required in that instance.  Look in the K3 manual 
(or the K3 Utility Help file) for the instructions on how to force a 
firmware load.  Follow those instructions 'to the letter', and your K3 
should recover.

The "hard reset" is EEINIT - check the manual for the procedure - you 
will have to restore from a saved configuration or set up all the menu 
parameters manually 'from scratch'.
