Turbo-Link help

[turboadict]

Bought Turbolink V4 for windows some time back, couldn't get it to connect to the car. I've finally got time to try and get this sorted out.

Problem is I can't get it to talk to the car. I open T-link and click connect - It tells me Turbolink has not been properly tested, do I wish to do so now? - click yes. Comes up with com 6, cable detected but no connection with ecm.

Then says cable did not pass all of the tests, unable to establish connection.

I am using a USB serial adapter - the one recomended for t-link (EasySync RS232) and the light on this flashes when t-link tests it.
However, I don't have a light on the t-link connector which connects to the ALDL port on the car. Where is this powered from, the aldl or the pc?

Any help with this would be hugely appreciated, I really need to get this up and running.

I have tried this with another GN with the same results. What am I doing wrong here?

I know this has probably been beaten to death here, but I'm struggling with this.

I just bought a TL for my Roadmaster, and am having the same problem. Can anyone help?

Ended up buying a different make serial adaptor and it cured the problem. Exact same thing, same spec etc, just a different brand. Don't know why but it cured it - go figure.

Hope this helps.
