greetings to the gurus, pls can somebody write, give a post(or a link to where it has been posted b4 if any) on how to upgrade strong decoders. I would like to learn this. I tried searchin d forums using d google search but no headway. Pls help

you can see that on the strong receiver thread or better still you can download from wizkid.persiangig.com then unzip the file before you load it in your decoder feel free to ask important questions but do more of reading

Greetings 2 d gurus 1ce again. An rs323 cable is used 2 conect a receiver to a pc(i stand 2 b corected if am wrong) so my question(s) are
1. Why do u need 2 cut it and do some pin connections as implied in d faq of fta thread?
2. What is meant by a null modem and what is its use in fta?
3. What is meant by male or female hole(or ends or somethin like that)?
I use 4669x so u can use dat as example in ur explanation(if need be). Thanx

Pls Stevo, srt 4669x or xii is not a multi tv decoder but strong. to enable sound u must update the decoder. pls specify this by telling us your model type whether 4669x or 4669xii or 4669z then lets proceed. YOU MUST BE SPECIFIC TO GET HELP ON THIS THREAD. THANK YOU.

@Ask1509
1- We modify the RS323 cable for the computer to communicate with the receiver. If u take that cable just as it is and connect it to the receiver and PC nothing will happen. U may wish to know that in that 9 pin setup not all pins are active.
2- To the male/female thing. At the back of your Strong receiver look at the port where u connect the RS323 cable. U will c that it has holes (just think of it as a female sexual organ). U need something like a pin to connect (enter) to these holes, in other words, the cable needed must have pins (think of it as a male organ). The one entering is male, the one being 'entered' is female. I hope i've explained it without being vulgar or offensive. ; 
3- U can google for the null modem thing

NOTE: This post was made wrongly using the Coship CDVB5668 which has a female port while the Strong has a male port. Just look at it in the opposite way

@pizo
roger that bro, you are the bomb. i now get it

HI ALL IN THE HOUSE ESPECIALLY OGA BADARU ET AL. YOU KNOW A THING ABOUT MB2 DONGLE?I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MINE CAN SOMEONE BUZZ ME HERE? ugotuf@gmail.com

greetings to the gurus, my questions still abond with the rs232 cable.
this is the particular write up i was talkin about:

Go to the guys selling computer parts. Buy an  rs 232 cable (as shown in Diagram 1). You can take the picture along with you for them to understand.  Both ends of the cable should be FEMALES(WITH HOLES) See attached diagram.  The connections will be

pin 2-----------------------------------pin 3
pin 3-----------------------------------pin 2
pin 5-----------------------------------pin 5

Though it may be difficult for you to physically know what connects to what, i will give you my own style.

Take a cutter (or knife, pliers)  and cut your cable into 2 at the midpoint (middle), you will find 9 coloured cables including a unclothed one.  You will only need the Green, Orange, Red and the unclothed cable. Connects it  like this at both ends.

END 1                                              END 2

Red          ------> connects to   <----------- Orange
Orange        ------> connects to   <-----------  Red
Green      -----> connects to   <----------- Green
unclothed wire ------> connects to   <----------- unclothed wire

If you connect it well, then you are good to go. (make sure you cover the connected ends with cello tape before you destroy your decoder oooo)


SO the cause of my question i highlighted in bold.
after cutting connecting, the cable will have 2 female ends which means that there must be two male ports for the cable to fit in during connection of the receiver to cable( 1 male port on receiver and 1 male port on the computer), my 4669x have a male port for connecting  but unfortunately, the two laptops at my end here have a female outlet ( as in the attached diagram )   so my rs232 cable wont fit in. also worthy of note is also the fact that the laptop's female port has 15 holes contrary to the 9 holes of the cable so am confused how i will connect it to the pc

can somebody pls shed some light on this or am i missing something?   
any and all help will be appreciated

@Ask1509
You are not getting it wrong. The problem is that most laptops that are being released nowadays do not have this port. Others resort to buying a special cable (factory made) that has on one end the 9 pin socket and the other end a USB socket. I use a desktop computer for these jobs and most desktops have these ports (even the latest). I presume you have really checked and found out that this 9 pin port is not there. Fight on.

thanx very much pizo. I really appreciate it. U've made this very clear to me

HI PIDZO,THANX 4 ALL THAT DETAILED EXPLANATION.I HAVE FEW QUESTIONS
1.DOES THIS CONNECTION WORK FOR ALL RECEIVERS
2.WHICH OF THE PINS 1-9 DOES THE UNCLOTHED WIRE CONNECT TO
3.CAN THIS ALSO WORK FOR MICROBOX II UPGRADING

I HAD TO BUY AND INSTALL A DB99 (MALE) COM1 PORT TO MY LAPY JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE AND I HAVE CONFIRMED IT WITH A MODEM,IT'S WORKING PERFECTLY WELL (I.E. IT COMMUNICATES WELL WITH THE MODEM WHEN QUERRIED).
NOW IHAVE GOT MYSELF A PAIR OF DB9(FEMALE) CONNECTORS AND I WANT TO PRODUCE A FRESH DATA CABLE BY MY SELF .

I UNDERSTAND THIS,

pin 2-----------------------------------pin 3
pin 3-----------------------------------pin 2
pin 5-----------------------------------pin 5
AND THIS,

END 1 END 2

Red ------> connects to <----------- Orange
Orange ------> connects to <----------- Red
Green -----> connects to <----------- Green

BUT NOT THIS
unclothed wire ------> connects to <----------- unclothed wire ?

SO I WILL APPRECIATE IT IF YOU CAN THROW MORE LIGHT NOW AS IAM PRESENTLY HOLDING MY SOLDERING IRON
