megajolt no longer comunicated with the laptop - please help

Post by welshdan »

hi, im having problems with my megajolt setup.

basically i had this running last year fine without problems, however when i now plug it into the laptop it will not communicate.

i have not changed anything etc, the wiring is still in the same place, plugged in properly, laptop settings the same as far as i know etc

the green led is on on the mj module.

my brother borrowed the usb to use on his na engine, but used this on his laptop

so basically when i power it up, the error 'timeout reading cylinder count' error comes up

i have tried changing the 'com's, but the selected one is the only one recognised

im not the best on computers, i have gone through some trouble shooting guies etc that i have but to no avail.

could the use of the usb on another computer/engine have changed things?

im thinking about re-installing the usb, but have lost the link to the software. is there any other software that could be used to do this?

when the usb is removed from the computer it shows the 'could not open port' error, as when other coms are slected.

i have tried all usb compatable ports on the computer

at the moment im stumped. and very frustrated.

i need to get this sorted asap so that i can get the engine set up.

i guess the next step would be to purchase and install another usb cable.

i really hope someone can help

cheers, dan
