    Use Gup or something like that and make sure you have the right com port selected
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    There are a plethora of threads and posts on this forum as well as the instructions that come with the kit.

    Being helpful as usual....

    @OP you mention you are using a laptop. Does it have a com port (DB 9 connector like what's on the Jaycar)? Are you using a straight through DB 9 lead?

    1: did you use the correct power supply
    2: did you use the correct cable
    3: did you select the correct com port in the software
    4: did you push the button down in the jaycar to set it at phoenix mode
    5: did you place the header on the correct pins to set it at 6mhz
    6: did you place the card in correctly


    use something like fmcard to start with because it will read all cards then once it is established the reader is working then move onto the other programs
    dont say linux if i wanted it id install it
