Pro Plus 3 not found

Post by ausiwi66 »

Hi,
I have been trying to download my latest dives from my pro plus 3 onto my laptop, to no success.
Everytime i go to download it comes up with the message
" Pro Plus 3 not found, make sure it is connected and swithed on
(DC_STATUS_TIMEOUT)
I have previously had no problems downloading dives before.
Not sure what is happening now.
I have checked the contacts and they are fine, ive changed to different ports on my laptop with no difference.
cheers Tina

Hi Tina

Are you sure you've selected the correct COM port? Maybe the drivers are not working anymore and need to be reinstalled. Try to download with the manufacturer software if you have it already installed. If not, install it as it also reinstalls the drivers.

Kind regards,
Sven

Hi Sven
Still having trouble downloading my computer.
I have taken all usb devices out of the laptop and tried every port. Each port says Com4 with no ability to change it.
I have also downloaded the oceanic ocean log to make sure the drivers are current.
Not sure why i cant download when i used to be able to
cheers

Does the download work with Oceanlog? Maybe the batteries in the dive computer are emtpy? This happens often, the batteries are good enough for the dive computer but not for downloading.

Kind regards,
Sven

Hi Sven
Have tried to download on oceanlog and all i get is timed out.
Have changed batteries with no difference.
Battery in dc tested at 3.23v, new battery tested at 3.26 so batteries are all good.
Not sure where to go from here
cheers

If Oceanlog isn't able to download either, I guess there is a problem with the interface cable. Maybe the contacts are corroded or dirty?

Check also whether the cable is inserted correctly. For some Oceanic cables it is possible to insert the cable upside down, but I don't know if this is the case for the Pro Plus 3.

Hi Sven & TnT,
Have tried inserting cable different ways to no avail.
Have also got out the steel wool and cleaned the contacts again.
Will see if i can get ahold of another cable and try that.

Hi,
thanks for all your help, i managed to get hold of another cable, that cable worked so i pluged the original one back in the correct way and voila it worked, so all along it was plugged in the wrong way.
