Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500, and I'm running into a strange issue that I hope someone here can help me troubleshoot.
When I plug the controller into my PC, the behavior is abnormal:
-
Only the Deck 1 and 2 LEDs, the underglow lighting, and the Beatmatch guide stay permanently lit.
-
The controller is recognized in DJUCED, and the Jogwheels actually work, but none of the buttons respond at all.
-
When I run a manual LED test on the hardware, only the deck LEDs light up.
-
The MIDI test in the control panel/utilities is greyed out and cannot be started.
What I've tried so far:
-
Reinstalled and updated DJUCED and the official drivers to the latest version.
-
Tested multiple different USB ports and cables.
It almost feels like the controller is stuck in a bootloader/update mode or has a deeper firmware/hardware glitch.
Has anyone experienced this before or know how to force a firmware reset/recovery on the Inpulse 500? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
