Connection solution-again

[Tracid]

I wrote this thread,because there are many people,who can´t set their cable into action.
These are te experiences from my 2 week long nervousness:
When i finished my own cable using that simple schematics with 74HC14 IC,i was so happy.I tried it out on my slower/older computer.it didn´t work.I took it to friends,still with no luck.Checked all the parts of the circuit,that was OK.What´s the matter?-I thought.I guy from the web(you all know him-but i don´t tell you!) wrote me,how to check the LPT port is OK:- disconnect flasher cable.
- locate on pc LPT pin11
- when sw asks to "press power on",connect this pin to GND(or pc to case)
If flasher sw have no reaction,this mean ,that here are lpt port problem /or malfunction/.In this case try to test port with other cables(printer,norton link cable ...etc) or install new ISA,PCI board with lpt port.
If has reaction,try to connect external power +4...5V to 74HC14(inside cable) pin14,because port sometimes doesn´t supply enough power
I made it all.It has no reaction.When the first week passed,i got an idea from my good friend,my brain :Inside the computer,where the LPT ports cable is connecting to the motherboard,i pulled out the cable and turned about(180 degrees).It has reaction,but my flasher cable still didn´t work.In the 2nd week i was going to buy a new flasher cable from id2.cz .I told myself:Lets try it last time!The connector between flasher cable and phone was from a factory made F/M bus cable.The connections to the phones pins have springs,but one of these didn´t spring.I thought it can´t be the problem and there is contact,but i mistook(F/M bus doesn´t need all the 4 connections,but flasher cable needs)!I repaired it,connected to LPT and phone,launch program,clicked to Read,and...Hej:It´s a wonder!The percents were going up!!Fortunately i didn´t purchase original flasher cable(it´s expensive)!
and i don´t need any external power!
So,these are the steps if cable don´t works:
1.check the LPT port is OK(pin11 to GND)
2.if no,try to turn about the cable inside the computer.if it´s OK,check cables,connections,reconnect cable,clean the contacts.Be attentive!
3.If still doesn´t work,connect external power.
4.If still doesn´t work,try on friends computer.
5.If works,throw your(not friends!) computer out the window .If doesn´t work,make the same way with cable!
Phone must be switched off!Try to remove SIM card from phone!
I hope i helped a lot!If helped,please let me know!!
