[Elecraft] K3 MCU download /

[hp]

Here is one line from an EA6 message about a K3 he just purchased . 

Elecraft K3 is stuck at MCU LD and need to be sent to Italy to Elecraft Official Service to recover it. 

Are there any tricks to recover without sending it to a service site ?? 

I have told him how to subscribe to the reflector and gave him a link to the archives 
but maybe someone has a quick answer which I can forward to him .
