    Default Help please!!!!

    Ok it's 1 o-clock in the morning here in guam and really i dont want to travel through the list of threads to try and find an answer to my question.....I know I suck!!

    I bought a rs232 serial port - express card to try and upgrade using serial to serial, but the damn thing aint working. well it came with a connection that looks like an eathernet connect with a serial conection on the other end.

    If i plug that in will it work????? I tried to do that but the vci will not go into boot. so If it will work can one of you guys hook me up with some info.

    This is driving me insaine.

    please please help......with anything.
