    @ grootblousmile:209 – Gbs,

    Shut it down tired another USB port and still the same. Getting nothing from the receiver it seems. Light flashes then goes off. So thinking the fault is the receiver.

    Will take my laptop with tomorrow just in case it is the laptop, but doubt it is the laptop otherwise would not be able to use it.

    Damn so much happens at once. Also my battery in my golf cart has gone……..DAMN just when I wanted to have a game of golf. Know I should not play cause of the kak knees. So maybe the battery going there saved the knees today from playing golf…………hahaha. Getting a new battery there I may as well get a new cart. Also know can you believe my luck MY DAMN CAR battery is dead. The same thing happened before I went overseas on holiday. Now again? Something not right there either. So will have to get that checked on Monday.

    Lucky we each have a car.

    Anyhow out of here now. Thanks for the help boeta.
