Hi all. Quite recently, I thought that my serial port up and ddied on my
laptop. However, it resorted to being quite flaky at best; it decided
to work fine on Windblows. Every so often, even with my 2.6.6 kernel,
the port would act quite flaky. My conclusion that it was the cable that
was at fault. However, on another machine that I have (my server)
running 1.6.11.7, the cable worked just fine with that particular port.
Could it be that some pins on the laptop port are bent? Reason I say
that is as of now, I can only plug the cable in part way so that the
Dectalk gets successfully probed. If I plug the cable in all the way,
the device probe fails. Doe asyone have any other ideas that I may not
have thought of? I really don't want to have to fry this port just so I
get Dell to replace it. Thanks!

My guess would in fact be that you have a bent pin if the cable works
fine on a different machine. It is either that, or a short on the serial
board itself. If it is just a bent pin, you may be able to fix that by
straightening that. Of course, you take the risk of snapping it off
completely if you do it.

Hi there. My next thought was the pins in the board itself...However, if its a short in the serial board itself...Time to start thinking about convincing Dell to replace the board...Which I
don't think will be easy in the slightest...

It shouldn't be that hard if the machine is under warrantee. Just tell
them your serial port doesn't work. They'll repair or replace it, have
too.
