Hi Guys,
to answer a few resent questioned raised
Greenhorn, below you will see a close up of the board area you are talking about, as can be seen each pad is fully loaded, actually unlike the last player i treid having, a LG bd660, this board appears to be very complete.
soryy about the link not working the DKU 5 cables i have are ebay item number 350574871753
I am thinking this is the root of my problem, although they do use the Prolific driver and work under win7 32&64bit the wiring is minmal to say the least
EV3VA, first off thanks for joining in, my cable operates at 3.3v in that one wire shows Tx i think shows a voltage of 3.1v and the Rx (i think) shows 1.2v. Baudrate and Com's are selected corrctly, I have conected my RX and Tx wires and get an echo.
Your comment qoute :-
Finally, there have been some indications that console output may have been altered by some algorithm like ROT/XOR etc... But someone else would have to answer that... end quote
THATS above my pay grade!! sorry ROT/XOR to save me guessing what do each OF THE acronym stand for.
Welcome to the chat Omga83, the middle is as good as any place to start here..
I have done some further checking and modding, I have placed a set of header pins on the mainboard (see attachment) i AM NOW 100%CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE MICOM uart HEADER
and that the number I assoitated to each is correct for all the pins.
In summary guys my tests show that when i attach the DKU5's RX and ground to the BOARDS HEADER pin3 (Tx) and pin4 (GRD) I see GARBAGE on booting, after booting the only action i can take with the players remote control to instigate more garbage is to eject and close the disc tray, no other buttons trigger a sent signal/garbage.
When I also include the DKU5'S TX cable to pin1 (Rx) I am able to input the 20102011 value,
after the boot garbage is shown I am unable to enter any keyboard commands.
As I have already stated, I really think the only thing between me and the console is type of cable I have in that it maybe a cheap clone.., quite frankly I am A little tired of buying cable!! this is the second set I have purchased..

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CORRECT HEADER, THE CORRECT ONE IS DISCOVERED AND DISCUSSED IN A LATER MESSAGE
