Hey guys, I know this is a pretty noobie question.

but I just bought a second hand APC40 from a mate of mine,
changed my midi sync preferences and all that
plugged it all in and everything, no lights nothing D=
can somebody give me a quick guide on how to do this?
is there any drivers or an install cd I need?
I'm using live 8.1.3,
any helps appreciated,

cheers,

Honestly sounds like its broken....

Does the midi in signal (top right hand of the screen) flash orange when you press buttons?

There's no drivers on a Mac, i can't speak for windows, it's just plug and play.... Unconnect the cable from your computer, this should send the APC40 into Snake mode, you'll see all the lights being tested, no lights = broken!

Cheers

ah!
I doubt it,
he's a good mate and he said he was using it just last week,
it might be the power adaptor.
it has a switch from like 12v to 9v etc. and has like an adaptor at the end of the cable where it plugs into the APC40.

ahah!
it's working.
all I had to do was flip around the plugs on the adaptor.
thanks heaps,
