Repair?
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:49 am
Well I have a AK5-RS232 and a custom made arcade box, I didn't recently buy this product it's been like 7-8 months (Bought it from your ebay store). I have a Serial to USB adapter and currently set everything (Device manager and Kiosk software) to COM 7. (I have tried other ports as well)
I have 2 lights on the Serial to USB adapter Red (To confirm the connection) and Green (Blinks when data is going through the unit).....When I first got the unit the green light would only blink when I put money in it (AKA what it suppose to do) .....well now that this expensive arcade box is finished I pulled this unit out again to maybe get some cash in a arcade. However now that its hooked up the green light almost always blinks continuously, and the Kiosk software thinks I keep putting in money.
Things I've done.
1. Replaced USB adapter.
2. Placed unit directly into COM Port (Built into motherboard)
3. Tried 3 computers.
....what I'm trying to say is that I know its the unit.
I soldered new wire on the unit, made sure all the capacitors were good.
THEORY! = Some sort of Noise or electrical current is getting into the COM port causing false data to be read by the software??? Wild theory.
Thanks in advance!

P.S. Worse case is there a way to send it to you guys for repair? If so how much?
