Is there a way to test a tactrix cable to make sure its ok? I think mine just died on me. I reloaded the drivers but the cable still wont work. When I plug the cable into the usb port the computer doesnt beep or do anything to recognize it. I also plugged the cable into my home computer but it doesnt do anything there either. This all started after I went to log a buddys car. Is it possible his car somehow shorted my cable out? I have the 1.3 cable. After hooking up to his car I hit the log button to make sure it was working and it was. We drove down to an open road and thats when I hit the log button and it didnt see the cable. I did get some pop up measege from the computer saying something about the usb device not recognized or something like that. I really didnt pay too much attention to it and I closed it out. So ever since then it stopped working.

I stumbled upon this on ebay and found you need to remove pin 9 from your Tactrix cable because it shorts it out if you hook up to certain Evos? Here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/360396439262...84.m1423.l2649
Is this what happend to my cable? It happend after I hooked up to an Evo 9. I want to be sure its not some software issue or something before I buy a new cable.

i can beat that price in that ebay link.. if it doesnt recognize any form of device connecting to the usb port then yes its gone.. you may be able to repair it. you gotta crack open the shell and look for possibly split trace or maybe a wire got hot and burnt up or capacitor popped?

but pm me if you need a new cable. if you dont remove pin 9 you can fry the ETAC ECU on your evo. it shouldn't of fried the cable though.
