Need some help folks.

Just dusted off my A series spectral controller for a new build (journal will be up soon ish) but it cycled through dates, times, colour and intensity on it's own.
I plugged a light in and it kept doing it. I tried to program the correct date and time in but the controls didn't change things in 1's like it should and when I navigated away from something that I'd got to the right setting it changed it ie I set it to 14:10 and when I moved away it changed to 14:14....

I thought I'd go check for firmware but there's none on the website for the older controller and the new one won't detect my controller. The controller knows it's connected to the pc but not visa versa.

Have asked on a FB group and sent Kessil a message about it to see if anyone knows of a fix, thought I'd check in with you guys as well
 
Have a video of what it is doing? I know its a little backwards to post here but can post on youtube and post the link here, i find it easier [emoji23]
 
@Gareth elliott Ask and you shall receive :) Hopefully this show's everything going on, it wasn't connected to a light at the time but is now and it hasn't helped. I did have it going properly for a bit yesterday after iit'd been connected to the computer for over an hour but I suspect that's a coincidence.

 
Also it's all upside down because I had the phone balanced on the tank, I was working on the scape when I remembered I was supposed to shoot it :)
