Did you try my suggestion? Plug the 2080 into a port which you know for sure is ok and working. (eg use the port that works for the K2000. Use all the same cables that you use for the K2000 so that the ONLY variable is the port that you are using on the AMT8. If you get no lights or MIDI data, then you know for sure that the 2080 is the problem. Also, try the K2000 with the port that you suspect is faulty. This will test the AMT8 as you know the K2000 works. Regards - Colin
