    Error No CA - How can I fix this - no Null Modem Port?!!!

    Hi All

    I have the error "No CA" on my DM800 HD. I've seen there is a tool to fix it with a null modem cable which I have, however my HP PC doesnt have the port?! What can I do?

    Hi,
    "No CA" normally appears if you tried to flash a wrong image. When you flash an DMM image on a clone you get this very often.

    Look for an USB->RS232 converter.

    I use a PCI to serial card, i have found you get much better results than with the USB to Serial convertors.

    Every new PC i have the serial card goes into it
