Those cables are fine, but they should not cost more than $15 |

Connect your cable, install your drivers FROM a provided CD or from the manufacturer website and then make sure you have your drivers properly installed by checking the device manager. #3. - Go to Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware - Go to Device Manager and Ports and see what Com your USB cable is set to. - The Advance button will allow you to change the port. Change it to 1, 2, 3 or 4. - Also be sure to change the Baud (Bits per second) to 115200. #4. When using a loader from your specific reciever, make sure the COM port selected on the loader corresponds to the com port you changed in the previous step. #5. Load your file. Issues/Solutions - If your having trouble installing drivers for your USB to Serial Cable, try to refer to any websites of the manufacture of your specific cable for any new drivers or any help with your issue. - If you did all the required steps and your loader sticks at 0% OR doesn't even make any connection to your receiver, your cable has not been installed properly. Please try running through all the steps again or try cleaning out any old drivers and putting them in again. - If you still can't get it to work, try a different USB port. - If still you cannot get anything to work, look for any hardware conflicts with your USB to Serial Cable in your device manager. - If still you are having issues, try the cable on a different operating system or different computer. - If you are still having issues, try different drivers instead of the ones provided. - IF YOU CANNOT DO ANY OF THE ABOVE, GET A REGULAR COMPUTER WITH A SERIAL CABLE PORT AND SERIAL CABLE! ADDED NOTE: MANY USB to Serial cable adapters our there will not work with null modem receivers. |
