Don't waste your time reflashing the firmware: if the BCF's display shows "1.10" during startup, the firmware is guaranteed to be 100% OK, because the BCF's bootloader performs a checksum on the firmware before starting it.

One thing that does matter: is the BCF in "B-Control" mode or in an emulation mode?

And in which operating mode (U-1..4, S-1..4) is the BCF?

For various tricks during startup and afterwards, see sections 22 and 23 of "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf", available from http://home.kpn.nl/f2hmjvandenberg281/bc2000.html .

Hope this helps,
Mark.
