Hello,

I've got a problem as what a lot of people have. Ive searched this forum and found no real answer to my problem.

My 4000 N box (NTL) has been nuked by me pulling the red jumper out and putting it back in. Im getting two error read outs. Err 12 and Err 20 on the front panel and all services seem to be failing with no picture to view at all. Only the NTL info bar.

My 4000 N box has no serial rs232 port on the back. Just a USB.
Ive heard people say that a serial to usb cable wont work. It's impossible for me to use LibDebug to get my network ID running okay again. At the moment it is 09999.

Ive heard its possible to make a cable and solder it to the board, but thats a little bit too confusing for me as it seems a lot harder than i thought it was.

Can anyone help me in anyway as to tell me how to get this box working. Im sure a lot of people are in a similar situation as from the posts I've read.

Why do I not have an RS232 port on this model box? Does anyone actually know? because the newerw boxes still have them. (4001 and 4001N)

Many thannks
