[Elecraft] bricked my K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Jamie,

You say the K3 is "bricked", however, the most common problem is that 
the computer hiccuped during a firmware load.

The Display says MCU LD and the TX light is blinking.

If that is your condition, read the instructions for "Forcing A Firmware 
Load" in the K3 manual or in the K3 Utility Help file (Troubleshooting).
