Hi,
I'm new here and this question has probably been asked more often but I can't find an awnser to my exact question soo here we go:
I bought the PM3 and followed every exact step in the manual. Evrything seemed to work af first. I used the proxmark for the purpose I needed it for and put it away again.
After a few days I wanted to start using it again, but not it's not getting detected anymore. Not if I hold the button, and neither in my device manager. So no COM ports are gettings assigned anymore.
Anyone got tips?
To recap.
- Setup and working
- Next usage, no com port when pm3 is connected
- Windows 10
Is there any indication that windows is searching for the driver for the device when first connected ?
Any unknown devices appear in device manager when connected ?
OK, as I suspected; a different cable gives the same effect.. I haven't got another PC on hand, So I'll post my findings if I get my hands on one. Meanwhile I'd still like to solve this problem with my current setup.
The rdv4 is what I would call the latest. its about the size of a card (but thicker) in a black case. When on, has 4 blue leds (always on) and 4 red leds (on/off based on whats going on).
but if it only has the one usb port, then its not what I was thinking may have been a simple issue.
Search the web for images of the different models if not matching the rdv4 (4.01) description.
If there are ANY leds "on" when connected/powered, let us know which ones are on.
OK never mind... I'm no paying attention at all obviously.. It's got two connectors indeed and I was using the wrong one all the time. I've got a rdv4 indeeed. Probleem solved! Sorry ':) and thanks!
Now what's this other connector for?
Not 100% sure what the 2nd is for, I think it was for power or an external antenna hookup, but as iceman said, sounds like a clone of the PM3 Easy.
either way, you got it working
If all is well, can you edit the subject and mark as [SOLVED]
Thanks
