it for one that's a totally different serial/batch because if you've
tried all the
ports that's about the best you can do.
One question, anyone there know another person with a working adapter
you could borrow and test with? I know not everyone has'em but it sounds
like the main player knows others and may be able to snag one for an
hour to see if it fires up and confirm you've got some coming from a bad
batch. It's not impossible but the repeat trips can drive you nuts! Might
even want to find out about exchanging it at a different location to help
ensure you end up with one from another batch/delivery.
Othern' that from the screen shots everything else is in place and things
should be working fine. I haven't seen the newest version that you have
but usually the second any adapter's plugged in that set of settings
screens should light up regardless of a successful connection or not.
Sorry we couldn't find another culprit but hopefully we've narrowed it
down to the cause!
