you need a 9 pin to female serial cable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1M-DB9-Fe...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item483bdd5722 make sure that on the back of your computer it is compatible with the cable.
Tnx for the quick reply.. i will be using my HP lap top and i just checked. my laptop has i5 pin holes so what do i do please ? would like to order the right cable today before 5pm so i get it 2moro
you would need a usb adapter and a rs232 serial cable http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/779888 have a look at the picture and the guide for flashing the box from a laptop, cant help you on the laptop set up,never flashed a box on a laptop befour,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-R...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item231ad11cc1 one of the other guys on the forum should be able to confirm if this cable will work with the laptop.
you would be better of finding someone with an old pc with xp and serial port as many others have run into problems with usb adapters and drivers etc.looking at that link it looks like a serial cable which is wired straight,a null modem cable has a cross over wire for flashing.
all my mates have lap tops so i will have to use my lap top. pls how can i install the drivers.im using a laptop and iv ordered a ''USB 2.0 to RS232 Serial DB-9 Pin Female Video Game Graphic PC Adaptor Cable'' .. please have a look if its right http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150773767361&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:1123 i guess what i then have to do is install the driver.. how please ?
on the loader it gives you 4 choices of com ports to use,are you using a null modem cable and usb adapter? dont think the graphic pc adapter cable is right.
