DDJ SX connection failed

When trying to update my SX to the latest firmware the program says the device isn't connected? I've followed the guide and the device is in update mode, I've also tried the other usb ports and unplugged all other usb's but the problem still persists, is it a problem with the device itself? 

Pulse

Have you tried a different USB cable / USB port?

callum Bates

Yeah I tried another cable and all my USB ports

Pulse

What OS are you running?

Pulse

Does the SX appear on the devices list (when not in update mode)?

See this guide for some information on getting there.

callum Bates

No, when I connect it it says the device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognised

Pulse

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?

callum Bates

I only installed the drivers this afternoon so I don’t think that’ll be the issue

Pulse

It certainly could be... were you in an administrator profile when you installed them?

callum Bates

Shall I uninstall and reinstall them anyway? And yeah I was

Pulse

Yes - uninstall, ensure Windows is fully updated, restart, then reinstall - right click on the driver installation and select "run as administrator," even if you are an admin account.

callum Bates

I found a help section on an sz driver install guide that said if you have trouble with the device not being connected uninstall the drivers, then try to install the firmware then install the drivers, shall I follow those steps or do drivers first?

Pulse

The firmware and drivers are independent of each-other, it doesn't matter the order.
