[Elecraft] FPF problem

[Mike Crownover]

I have a K3 that has been sitting on shelf for a while. I powered it up today, after it was on for ~5 minuted, I get a ERR FPF. 
After a little research I learn I need to reload the flash file. I used the utility to update the MCU and then when the FPF tried to load I got this message. 



Elecraft K3 Utility Revision 1.15.12.7 
OS Version 10.0 Build 10586 
K3 MCU revision 05.38. RS-232 speed 38400 bit/s. 
Waiting 4 seconds for flash memory erase 
Sending firmware file C:\Users\ad5a_000\AppData\Roaming\Elecraft\K3 Firmware\hfpf0125.hex to FPF 
Error code 0xE2000048: No response to poll while synchronizing to buffer boundary 
FPF verification failed. Reload FPF. 
Click "Close" to close this window 




I have retried numerous times and get the same message. Any ideas.
