I just purchased an MX 800 remote control and I am having major problems in getting it to communicate with any computer. I first tried on a Gateway laptop through the serial port and it tested on the TV fine, but when I attempted to download it to the remote, the remote gave me an error message “Fail! 1” and the computer gave me an error which read, “102-17UU-0000 Either the com port setting is incorrect (Communications Menu) or the cable is defective.” I have verified my port settings and they are fine, as well as disabled any activesync programs. I received the same error with a Compaq laptop. On a third computer (HP Desktop) I was successful in programming two devices before I started to receive the same error message. Now no matter how many times I boot up or turn off the computer, nothing works.

I know this may sound obvious, and probably isn't the problem, but I know when I first started I wasn't pushing the connector all the way in the remote, causing an error. It should make a nice, tight connection. Have you tried each serial port setting?

The closer I get to the truth....the further I find I am from it |

I wish it was that easy. I even purchased a serial to USB adapter in the hopes that it would solve the problem, but no luck.

Problem solved. I found that the cable has an open connection somewhere next the the 3.5mm plug. When moved to a certain position it works fine. I confirmed the problem by cutting an old serial mouse cable and attaching a 3.5mm stereo plug to the other end. While using that cable everything works great. Now I can get to programming my new MX-800!
