After 30 days, PayPal returned my money. Here's part of their e-mail:
The funds have been returned to your account.


This payment was returned for the following reason(s):


This payment was funded with a credit card, and "Mr. X" [edited -- no point in putting the name of the person doing business as DIYGadget on this forum] has not yet upgraded to a Premier or Business account.




Please contact "Mr. X" (diy_gadget@yahoo.com) to arrange an alternate payment method
So I'm lucky to get my money back without a dispute. Still no response to my e-mails. I went ahead and built my own JP1 cable, and I would advise anyone waiting for DIYGadget to do the same, or buy one from another supplier.

Hi,

We are not out of business!

We were having problems with yahoo mails. Fortunately, we have developed a dedicated ticket system to replace direct email support, for any supports, you can submit a ticket at http://www.csbooth.com or send email to diygadget at csbooth dot com, a ticket will be automatically created for you. As for the orders, all JP1 USB cables will be sent out next week, we had problems with our order system, therefore there is a delay here. As compensation. we will ship an USB card reader along with the delayed order for free.

Sorry about that and thanks for your business!

We are now offering USB version of JP1.2/1.3 cable. Our USB version has a low profile header, it fits small openings (such as URC-7555, RS 15-134 and RS 15-135 etc, please check the back of your remote) so no extra adapter is needed.

prelude, I've just resurected my old JP1.x cable that I bought from Rob. I think that we determined it was one of yours. When it failed last year I wasn't sure if it was the USB Adapter or the cable. I shortened my cable past a suspicious spot where the ribbon had a deep crease, but that didn't help.

I haven't had very good luck with other cables. So I went out and purchased a new USB adaptor yesterday(retail $39 :eek: ) but it got me up and running. :D :D :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It turned out that the problem was in the USB adapter. I'm now running my cable that has 20,000+ upload/downloads on it, works well with JP1.1 JP1.2 and JP1.3, but I'm wondering if there is an adapter of some kind, or a new end for the cable that I could add WITHOUT SOLDERING that might allow me to work with those RCA remotes as well?

I can always cut out the case on my own remotes, but I've been recommending these remotes to other people and I wouldn't want to go around dremmeling their cases.......

Both DIY and Tommy sell the adapters you're talking about.

Oh that's the 9.99 socket adapter. With all the talk about opening the relief and super gluing the case I didn't realize there was a fix for this. Cool!

I JUST received the 'JP1.2/1.3 (FLASH) USB Cable for Universal Remotesfrom diygadget.

This cable broke immediately. There is no strain relief between the cable and the jack that connects to the remote. I tried to remove the cable from the remote (used hardly any force) and the wires stripped out of the jack. I have no idea how to fix since I dont know which wires go to which hole.

Can you replace the cable or at least tell me which wires go where so I can repair this item I just bought myself.
