Thanks for the suggestions so far - tried each several times but the K3 is
still toast.....

All you have to do is turn everything off including the computer. To turn
off the the K-3 you have to remove the power connection. Next, turn on the
computer. After the computer boots up, connect the power to the K-3 and
turn it on. You will see the same MCU LD message and blinking transmit
light, but the computer utility program should be able to find the K-3 and
reload the firmware.
