|
|
The last time I did anything by the connector was about a year ago. Now when I try to download via RMIR the remote flashes and resets and RMIR says 'no remote connected'. I have not tried to download or reset as I am scared of losing the functionality as updated a year ago. Can anyone suggest what could be wrong? |

Try fresh batteries and make sure the connector is oriented correctly. Failing that, post your RMIR file so we can see if it's corrupt. |

Thanks. I have already checked the batteries and the connector (it cant be connected incorrectly on this remote). I then tried the connector on a different remote and it works OK. I cant upload the file from the remote due to the issues. |

When you last loaded the remote, did you save your RMIR file? If so, you could do a 981-style reset on the remote and try re-loading it. Of course, if that doesn't fix it, you'll have lost your programming, but often that's all it takes to fix issues like this. _________________ Rob

That's a curious remark. I have a URC-7781 and certainly can connect my cable the wrong way round. I know there is a cut-out that acts as a key, but I was not aware that there were any JP1.x cables that had a connector with a matching protrusion. _________________ Graham |

Is that were i'm going wrong then? The same cable connects to my 7962 and I was sure ive used the same connector on both in the past. When I look at the remote charts now its reads 6 pin for the 7962 whereas JP1.2 for the 7781. I'm not aware I have any more cables than the original JP1 cable so are those definately different cables for these 2 remotes?
Anyway, assuming I'm using the correct cable as I think I am. Rob I do have a backup from years ago before I made a couple of tweaks. What I'm fearing though is if I do a reset I may still not be able to use the backup if theres an issue which continues to prevent uploading to the remote. What I was trying to do is backup the current remote them make some tweaks to the settings. |

Can anyone confirm the JP1.2 is the very same 6 pin connector? |

What do you mean? JP1.2 describes the interface protocol, not the shape of the 6-pin. All remotes with a 6-pin connector have the same connector, though the shape of the opening ha changed over the years, the newer remotes have smaller openings than the older ones. _________________ Rob

OK sorry for the confusion, I was just trying to confirm I am correct and the connector that is used for the 7781 is the same as used for the 7962. You have confirmed I am. |

I bought a new JP1 remote before I reset this one which is why its taken me a while to come back. I factory reset the 7781 which I still want to use then connected the cable, but again every time i connect it, it flashes then starts the configuration process all over again. Whether I reconfigure or not, if I try to upload or download to it RMIR is saying 'no remote found' or 'write remote returned 1'. What could possibly be wrong with the remote? |
