[QUOTE="arsenal333, post: 694450, member: 28103"] Okay - I'm trying to work the problem a little, first on the list is confirmation that the serial interface is working. The setup is to use the mentioned ex-link cable plus a USB to serial cable (Ritmo) - Drivers are installed and working. I've read that I need to enable a few things in the Samsung TV service menu, in order to enable the service menu I've done the following. Put the TV into Standby Mode, press [Info] then [Menu] then [Mute] and then [Power] when the TV turns on is shows a new Service Menu. I've enabled the Hotel Option, and Set the RS-232 interface to debug. (this should give me feedback in a terminal window) Turn TV off / on. Goto the PC and run a terminal tool like [URL="http://download.cnet.com/RS232-Hex-Com-Tool/3000-2383_4-10064973.html"]RS232 Hex Com[/URL] and setup your com port settings. Turning the TV off/on should now give debug information through the rs-232 interface. This should be proof that you have the com settings and cable config working. This is as far as I got last night - I'm hoping to be able to get the below codes working soon - initial attempts with codes have so far failed.:wtf: Again any help would be appreciated, specifically around the exact syntax I should enter for the codes in either the Hex terminal program or IRSS.
