belkin usb to serial adapter not recognized

I use this for my fiscal printer at work, which is so important! Any support would be greatly appreciated. Did I mistakenly press any keyboard shortcuts to turn them off? Dont forget to change the FIFO buffers to 8 too. Instead, go to device manager and change the COM Port for the USB adapter (after you installed the drivers for it) from COM4 to COM1 and everything should work fine.

I didn't change my Windows settings or install any application when this thing stopped working, so I'm really at a loss as what it could be. The easiest way to get the USB adapter to to work is to NOT change the COM Ports in INPA, DIS, SSS etc. It acts as if the cable/device is dead - but it's not, I've tested it on my other laptop.įurthermore, the computer does make a sound when I plug it in, but it just doesn't show on Device Manager. It uses a 'magic control technology' chip. It seems to get recognized just fine and sets up a serial port on /dev/ttyUSB0, on autodetect. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling every Port and USB on Device Manager - nothing. My ThinkPad T42p was sent with a Belkin USB-PDA adapter, which is really just a usb->rs232 adapter.

I tried Add New Hardware and installing the (new) Prolific drivers - nothing. The Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port remains greyed out. It's as if I mistakenly turned off my Comm Ports or When I plug it in, I don't see any changes in the Device Manager. I've been using my USB-to-Serial adapter for years until it suddenly stopped working yesterday.
