Hello everyone,
Thanks for helping me out yet there was no luck...
So my best option is to send it to OC. Sorry for not being able to participate in MyCockpit forums... caught up in personal issues;)
Though I have more time now and hope to see everyone soon

Best regards to the community:D

Sorry to hear you have had so much trouble with this. I just wanted to add my experience here in case it may help someone else. I had purchased an MCP that I was having the same the exact same issues with. Ultimately what I had found was that the power supply was subpar.... It was not putting out enough power to allow my computer find it. I had purchased a new power supply (6VDC 2000ma) and presto! Everything worked as advertised. All of the XP and Vista computers that would not find it originally are now all finding it.

Agree ;)

Spent two weeks with problems rdg. hooking up 2 pcs. OC USB Output cards. Only one showed up in Windows and SIOC, until I also changed the power adapter. In this case a PC ATX power with 5V/6A. To drive all the LED's.

The card will return an error to Windows if the total power is to low

Thanks, Seaiii and claushansen I will look in to buying a new power source, would you recommend the 6VDC 2000ma supply? I think OC is getting a reputation for unreliable power supply's:roll:

In my case I had the OC MCP ver. 3 ......... a 6V / 2000ma power supply is what they call for according to their web site. I think the MCP ver. 1 & 2 only called for a 5V power supply.

Hello to every body.
Sorry for not reply before but our official support service is overworked after christmas holidays.
Seaiii You are in reason:
MCP V1 and V2 are power supplied with 5V 1 Amp.
MCP V3 is powered with 6V 2 Amps.
The V1 and V2 can be used without external power ever the pc has enough amps available but is recommendable to use external power because the 7-segment digits compsumes a lot of power.
Regards,

Well then what on earth could be wrong? I just don't want to send it and then you Guys tell me everything is working as per normal, I think I might try another supply see how that goes if to no avail I have no choice but to send it...

Henri

Henri,
Just go and buy a 5v 2amp supply they are cheap, it will be the quickest way to prove it. If the supply is under rated then it will give the results you are getting.

I don't want to bust the MCP by feeding too much power in though. Although it is probably a good idea I'll try it out in a week when I'm back in the city.
