ALS-600 with RJ-USB6000 cable problem. Amm WOn't turn on Cable not recognized.

OK. I got a new ALS-600 and got the MFJ Flex specific USB cable plugged it in.
Then the amp shut off. I had configured the USB cable BCD active high.
I removed the USB cable from the USB devices window before I unplugged it.
Now my 6300 will not recognize the USB cable when plugged in.
Nor will my ALS-600 power on despite all my efforts.
Any Ideas of what I should try? Hope I didn't **** my new AMP.

There have been several posts here recently about these cables being mis-wired.  Do a search.  If you can't power-up the amp with the able disconnected, it will probably need a trip back to Mississippi.

That would be a bummer. I'm hoping I can some how reset the ALS-600. Power supply is making power Plugging the USB cable into a PC and it's not recognized so I'm thinking it's dead.

iS IT A ALS 606 OR ALS600? The als600 needs the ar500 between radio and amp with the other two cables going to amp

Then you need an ARI-500 (AR-eye) between the 6300 and the 600. If you plugged the USB cable directly into the amp you likely fried the cable.

Yea. I talked to Ameritron. Fried the cable and blew 2 amp fast **** fuse in the Power Supply

You need the ARI500 and an rca cable from TX1 to relay.  And you will find out that neither the operate / standby switch on the amp or the ARI500 is functional with that setup.
