MIDI EXPRESS XT
Hi guys, i recently picked up an old MIDI XT off ebay (old usb version with the mark of the unicorn logo) hoping i could hook it up and be away, however i dont seem to be getting any signal through the unit whatsoever. Ive downloaded and installed latest drivers from motu, the available ports show up in my DAW but thats about it. Ive also tried updating the firmware of the unit by pressing and holding the 'stripe' button upon start up but the express xt updater program wont detect the unit. Im pretty much at last resort now after researching and trying everything and can only assume this unit will not work with windows 10 or that the unit itself is faulty. Any help would be very much appreciated!!

Re: MIDI EXPRESS XT
Open it up, change the CR2032 battery, look for obvious problems such as bulging caps and discoloration or cracks on the motherboard etc.
