JTowbin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I come to the LOR community with another problem. This is my first xmas display but I did use tthe controller for my halloween display. I am running behind schedule for my christmas display so I was kinda rushing the setup. Last night I tested my PC16 and LOR1602W to see if they were working, but I accendentally left the USB-485 adapter out in the rain. Now today the hardware utlity cant find comm port 4 which I use for my controllers. Now when I connect the usb 485 into the computer a pop-up appears and says it cannot recognize the adapter. I went into control panel>hardware utility and tried to update the drivers but nothing worked.I went through ALL of the troubleshooting steps to fix it and now im comming to the conclusion that my USB-485 adapter got wet and is now non-functioning. Anyone know whats wrong?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know whats wrong??Sounds like you're SOL.Try drying it out first.If that doesn't work, then you'll have to get another adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTowbin Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well I'm not 100% sure it's non functioning, it would just seem that way. And how long do you think shipping would take?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
