Unable to update MPC One to 2.8

OK this is what worked for me. I have an MPC One on 2.9, but wanted to update to 2.10. What I did was this:-

1. Select the PC Updater version of whichever firmware update you want (or MAC) - you can find this in your registered products section of your AKAI account

2. Download the updater

3. Open the updater - do not press the update button yet!

4. Now, take the USB cable that came with your MPC that has a normal USB cable head on one end and a box-shaped USB head on the other end

5. Connect the box-shaped USB head onto your MPC (not sure if the Live has this) and the normal shaped USB head into your computer/laptop

6. You MUST ensure that no other USB cables of any kind are plugged into your computer/laptop apart from the one that connects to your MPC, otherwise the updater can't distinguish where to send the update to (so unplug all accessories from your computer that use USB ports like mouse, keyboard, external hard drive)!

7. Turn your MPC One on and put it in Update Mode (click the Home icon, then click the cogwheel icon on the top bar, then hold shift and click on "update" on the bottom right) and wait for it to load into update mode

8. Most people seem to get the "power not plugged in" warning once they press the update button on their laptop/computer, so what I did was disconnect the DC power cable that I was using for my laptop and connected it onto my MPC One to act as its power source (I normally use a portable Lithium ion battery with a DC output that connects to my MPC One, instead of the laptop cable)

9. In doing so, this makes the updater happy that you've got enough power to update and so once you click the update button on your laptop/computer, your update should start successfully

10. Hope this was clear and helpful
