I have an 828mk3 hybrid. The service recently changed the encoders as I was having problems switching on and the display was dim. After the repair there were clicks on Windows 10. The cpu not valid was there before the repair, but did not go anywhere after. On Mac there are no clicks and no problems when working with Logic. But this message and the clicks on Windows are frustrating me. I can't update the firmware, it says it can't see the device on both Mac and Windows, but Cuemix works fine. I would be glad to have your advice, I can't figure out where to look as I don't understand if it's a software or hardware problem.
The card is connected via USB. I have connected it to 2 computers and a laptop, but I have not been able to update the firmware.
Thanks.
I have had the Motu 828mk3 Hybrid since winter 2012.

Power down and disconnect your unit from everything. On restart, the firmware version should flash. If v. 1.01, you are up to date and that isn't the problem.
Connect to the Mac and update if needed since that is giving you less grief. Here are the instructions:
Reset to factory default if necessary—this sometimes does it:
