Gunfighter MIV not connecting

Postby FalcoNg » Fri Aug 04, 2023 20:01

Hello,

Just received my MIV gunfighter with MCG-U w/twist and I am having some issues with connectivity.

After putting everything together I connected the USB cable from the BB to the PC and nothing was connecting.
I then disconnected the cable from the GF base to the BB and it showed up.
Upon reconnecting the GF base to the BB it disappeared again.
I figured it might be some sort of firmware issue so I downloaded the latest zBootloader, VKBDevCfg, and firmware v2_14_A.
Flashed it with _BB_Mk2_GunFighter_MCG_Ultimate_Twist_v2_14_A
After I flashed it nothing shows up as connected and there are no lights on the BB.

Not sure if it matters, but I was using a MkI gunfighter prior to disconnecting it and connecting the MKIV
the MKI still works fine but the MKIV does not show up.

if there are no lights on the bb when it's plugged in, then unplug it, press the button and plug it back while holding the button pressed
release the button after a few seconds, run zbootloader and flash the attached file (unzip it first)
after flashing run the button pressing sequence like here: https://youtu.be/D_mew9_B4GE?t=139

So through some troubleshooting over discord, it seems like the issue was that the L extension perhaps wasn't seated fully. Upon removing the extension and mounting the MCGU directly to the base, everything worked. I remounted the extension and things are still working.

Thanks for your help.
