K3 Bricked HELP!!

[Bob DeHaney]

Mike Cizek WØVTT had the answer, and I have a responding K3 again.  Many THANKS.

 

However more sleuthing is needed, the ERR PTT is back.  We have a new kitty who is very curious, maybe he rearranged a cable?

I strongly suggest following Don's one cable at a time troubleshooting
method.

In my shack the error was caused when I pushed the paddles out of the way
so I could place a notebook computer with the firmware files near the K3.
After the update, I got the ERR PTT. Felt pretty dumb when I realized I
caused it by pushing the paddles into another object. Is your cat taking a
nap on top of the key? hi hi

You have a stuck PTT.

Pull all plugs except USB, antenna and power.   ERR PTT should go away.

Now plug cables in one at a time. You should find problem quickly.
