Weird indeed. So, you are able to upload and download
to the remote via the mx editor software?
Yes.
You have the
proper cable, the cable that comes with the mx850 is the
same and works for the 800.
Seemed so.
Are you trying to learn standalone
or via the PC or both?
Via PC. I have only the instructions from the MX700 tutorial and whatever seems to make sense to me from the computer toolbar. How do you learn standalone?
One "feature" of the 800/850 is they will frequently fail
if you unplug them from the programming cable and then
replug and attempt to do something new.
Suddenly nothing is weirder than that. Now THERE's a candidate! I messed with the cables and definitely fall under that category.
I'd unplug, turn
off laptop, replug and then reboot.
Hmm. Reboot with remote connected. Interesting.
Then: I'd start with
a factory init via press and hold MAIN and STOP for a
good 10 seconds and then select ALL. Make sure you have
a backup copy on the laptop obviously. Now try to learn.
You can also try learning manually via MAIN and ENT.
I'm about to download the program back into it...before I did that, I held MAIN and ENT and nothing happened. You mean ENT down by the digits, not cursor enter, right?
THANKS as I'm on the job!
