need help with d/s please guys

Post by rav420024drlimtd »

It connects to the PC but it shows a blank screen with the d/s on ac power. Do I need to be plugged into the car to the computer and to ac power? I'm using a belkin usb/serial adapter hooked to a usb hub I've also tried hooking it directly to the computer not throught the usb hub still nothing. it's u7198 for 99 and newer ls1's, is it because I'm using a generic usb cable? What am I doing wrong?


Thanks
Matt

What kind of adapter are you using? Is the adapter output 12 volts and 1 amp?

You are saying that when you power up the Predator you get a blank screen on the Predator?

U7198?
Are you using the 99-02 PC interface software?

OK, but if it powers up right in the car, but not with the power supply, then it is either the wrong or a broken power supply.
