need help with my minipac

<< < (4/4)

rockmes:
l just tried something else. l connected the 5v and gnd from my trackball to the 5v and gnd of my ipac4, cos l am thinking that maybe theres something wrong with the minipac. and of course the minipac has power thru usb to the comp. But still it failed. l reckon the minipac is faulty. what do you guys reckon? not even the mouse buttons are working from the minipac. Mate l'am fustrated.

rockmes:
ok you wont believe it. l bought a multimeter and everything was fine with the minpac . it showed 5.3v .
Anyway l went out and  l bought another usb adaption cable for the ps2 cable that came with the minpac, cos l thought that the one that came with the original cable was faulty, cos l tried it in initilally, and it didnt work. So all this time l have been testing, l have been doing it with the new adapter.
So l decided to plug back in the old one and guess what? it bloody worked. l couldnt believe it. And l have been doing my head in for days, always checking to see if someone as posted to the forum.

Thanks heaps to all the guys that responded, and it has taught me that l should be helping alot more to those that require help from this forum, cos l have been around in the mame community for years but have always stayed in the background.
Thanks again and you'll been seeing me more often.
Ciao

I'm glad it works.  It seems faulty cables are a culprit more often than not, but I can't ever remember to check that first.
