Hi,
Firstly i want to say, i was readed the article about firmware update from the FAQ. But i think my problem is elsewhere than updating procedure.
When i boot my Megadrum with left button pressed there is nothing on LCD, but during pressed left button LED flash repeatedly. Just when i press down button the LCD showed this two lines, both, at once:
'Fw updater 16MHz
Send Sysex now'
During and after sending firmware LCD doesn't show anything other.
Where can be the problem?
Thanks.

I'm running out of ideas. You can try re-programming the bootloader or checking your controls for defects.

I will try to reprogrammed bootloader.
I wonder about keyboard schematic in this link
http://www.megadrum.info/sites/default/ ... _kicad.png .
Why over diodes are blue characters A and C on the contrary with red and diodes schematic? How i should solder it correct?
And about programming, may can i update my frimware by LPT that as bootloader?

I think that it is not really important, from what I saw your controls were OK.

Yes, but the preferred way is still using a bootloader. Then you don't have to use PonyProg/LPT every time you need to update.

I also think this are anode and cathode, but i don't know which description is correct.
I know, but bootloader doesn't load with left key pressed.

The correct way is A ->| C.
