   Yep, I fried one by upgrading the firmware to a version that the unit couldn't take. I have a vague memory that I got it going with a working eeprom and whilst it was live took the eeprom out,put the bricked on back in and loaded the correct firmware. Either that or there was a funny button press combination on startup. Sorry that wasn't helpful but I found all the info I needed to do it online. Sear h bricked dcx on here.

	Here's the thread https://forum.speakerplans.com/have-i-just-bricked-my-dcx-2496_topic104450_post1034930.html?KW=Bricked+dcx#1034930 You'll need a laptop with a serial port on it and a 9 pin serial D cable to USB or a computer/laptop with a 9pin d on it. You can pick up a very cheap old toughbook.

	If it’s the older version of the DCX (The one with the memory slot on the front under the Mute, Store and Recall buttons) you can only install up to firmware Ver 1.16, anything newer bricks the unit... I’ve purchased from eBay several so-called bricked DCXs where someone has tried to “upgrade” an older unit (with a memory slot) to firmware Ver 1.17 and in every case re-flashing with Ver 1.16 has restored them to working order.
