Greetings. I still use an old RC5200 for some misc. system settings.
A few times a year I roll out the old laptop the software is installed on to make changes and it has worked fine.
I had to replace my original one a few years ago.
Now today I tried to edit the program and "upload from RC device" so I am starting with the most recent CCF, it refuses to connect.
The software says it tried COM1 and COM2, and no response. Now I would be suspicous of the PC setup or software. However I do have the old RC5200 that at least turns on....and just to see if it was the wire or the PC setup I tried to connect THAT one. And it worked!!
So does this mean the serial connection plug on my RC5200 has gone bad?
Is there anything else I can do to the device to try to help it to connect? Since the older one DOES connect, I don't thnk I want to mess around with my PC settings or the software.
