Hello Joff,

Welcome on the forum.
1) As you meet a technical problem, please fill your profile in clicking on "My Space"> "My Profile"
https://www.herculesdjmixroom.com/en-us/account/informations/
You have 3 fields to list your equipment:
- In "Hercules equipment in use", please check your Dj controller in the list, UniversalDJ,
- In "Software in use", check your DJ software, Djuced,
- In "Describe your equipment": describe your computer brand and model, CPU, quantity of RAM, version of Windows or Mac OS, version of DJConsole Series driver package, version of DJ software.

2) Please read on DJHerculesMix control panel, in the about tab, what you see as firmware version.
Is it :   Firmware: 1.4.2.30?
If the firmware is not 1.4.2.30, while you have installed Hercules last drivers (2018_HDJS_1), then try reflashing the firmware with the following process:
- Unplug Universal DJ
- Reboot your PC
- Disconnect the PC from the internet,
- Close the antivirus if you have any, to make sure it does not interfere with the firmware update
- Press on the buttons Load A and Load B at the same time
- Keep Load A and Load B pressed down, and connect Universal DJ to the computer
- It should call the firmware updater,
- Stop pressing the buttons Load A and Load B
- Run the updater.

Hello Joff,
1) Please confirm your firmware version displayed is 1.223.2.30.
2) You can return the controller to Amazon if it is defective, but I would like to check if it is a firmware or a hardware issue.

Hello Joff,
Getting a firmware version 1.223.2.30 is the indicator of a problem: you should not have this 223 number in my opinion.
1) The first time you updated the firmware, did the firmware update work well or did you get any error or strange message?
2) When you have re-updated the firmware, did everything go smoothly or did you get an error message?

Thank you for the reply.

It automatically update when i started my PC and it went well without error.

When i open the djuced 40.and ipad app. Those control that i mentioned doesnt work anymore.

I even reinstall the hdjs series from 2015 to 2018 but no success. I think the mapping for those control stopped.after the upgrade.
 
And even downgrade my pc from windows 10 to windows 7 that hoping it would be a windows 10 issue etc. But still no.success.

I think your right i shouldnt upgrade original firmware.

Where can I download the previous firmware or not the 223 version  of my universal dj?

Thank you for your time.

Hello Joff,
I do not mean you should not have updated the firmware, you were right to update the firmware, but unfortunately there was an accident during the firmware update. There is no version of the firmware called 223: the figure 223 is a bug in your controller, the firmware version number is 2.30.
Have you tried updating the firmware on another PC, with a USB hub powered by a power adapter, to make sure there is no issue caused by a lack of USB bus power.
I do not think it is relevant to go to use an earlier firmware version, you can try if you want, I think it would probably not change anything, we must understand if we can access to the area of the on board flash memory which should not display 223.

Hello Sir good afternoon.

I ask for the technical help and they a willing to fix my unit with many instructions before delivering it to them.
But slnce i bought the unit a month before and i ask amazon for a replacement and the good company agreed.

Hope it well resolved the issue.

Thank you for the attention.

Hello Joff,
OK.
When you get a replacement unit from Amazon, when you install this replacement unit on your PC, as the firmware will probably need an update, please:
- connect a USB hub powered by a power adapter to your PC,
- connect the Universal DJ to the USB hub
- and make sure your computer is connected to its power outlet,
- and go, let the computer update the firmware.
