Please can someone help me out!
I am not able to connect my TI-83+ to my PC with a Black link cable. It has worked in te past. I cleared Ram tried new batteries etc, no luck.
The calculator itself works just fine. When i try to connect someone else his ti-83+ with the same cable there are no problems at all.

| Black link cables are a rather annoying thing might I suggest re-installing ti-connect. |

I have the same problem
check the serial port for functioning
You may have to use TiLP
http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/
The calculator - check [2nd] [Link] "receive"
it should display "Waiting"
Re-install the cable (ie remove serial port connection and replace)
sometimes the connection gets loose or contacts need reseating
hope this helps

When i do this i get an error; Error in Xmit.
What contacts do you mean? The serial or jack? |

Are your serial ports physical ports on the motherboard or are they on some sort of expansion card (eg PCI) or on a USB adapter?
TiLP is hard-coded to use legacy port addresses and as such will not work with such hardware; only ports on the ISA bus will work. There is a way around this (patching the cable DLL with a hex editor) if need be. |

As long as the port has a base address of 0x3F8 you should be OK.
TI-Connect can detect my calculator with the blacklink cable, but hangs if you try and do anything with it. TiLP works fine, though. |
