It's possible that maybe the power adapter itself doesn't work so I'll try with a different device too, but I'm not holding my breath. I don't know if it's ever been used in this way, but sadly no lights came on, indicating that it made no difference. I also tried using a 9V power adapter to see if providing direct power to the Launchkey might allow it to perform some recovery options. I don't have any extra USB-B to USB-A cables to try with, but given the current core issues I'm guessing it probably wouldn't make a difference.

The same issue happens with different computers and USB ports that I've tried, which I why I'm concerned that the botched firmware update is the reason for the keyboard's computer not being able to even draw power or make a connection with connected computers. Still nothing-neither power/lights nor functionality. I unplugged the keyboard, plugged it back in, and tried again. I started up the updater again and saw that the updater couldn't detect the keyboard. I was hoping that it was a non-destructive process and maybe I could simply restart the update or even continue using the existing firmware. The updater seemed to get stuck on 99% and then crashed after some time with the lights on the Launchkey turned off. So I downloaded that official firmware updater and ran it.

When looking through the software downloads for the product displayed to me after registering my product online, I saw that a firmware update was recommended to all users. Lights came up, numbers were displayed, and my MacBook detected the MIDI inputs. It worked more or less as expected with my MacBook via the included Ableton Live Lite and with GarageBand. I just received my Novation Launchkey 61 MK2 4 days ago (I bought it second-hand from eBay, but it was originally purchased through Sam Ash).
I wanted to post here to get some additional perspective on what happened and maybe gain some insights from the community.įirst off, I have already contacted Novation/Focusrite support and gave them the same details. A botched firmware update for my Novation Launchkey 61 MK2 seems to have bricked the product beyond user repair, preventing it from making connections to or drawing power from any USB port on any of my computers.
