Unable to connect DIYPNP
I recently got a used DIYPNP. I haven't been able to get any signs of life out of it. So far I've tried 2 different laptops, using an USB Serial adapter on both, and a serial cable on one of them. Is there any hope for this thing or did I get ripped off?
This is the cable I'm using:
Some pics of the ECU itself:
I've tried PortCheck
...and loading the firmware.
TunerStudio is also unable to detect any signs of life.
I've done a loopback test on the USB cable using Miniterminal inside TunerStudio and got it to echo. The test didn't work on the serial cable.
Any ideas?

Where are you located? Someone local might be able to bring by a known good setup to help troubleshoot.
I've had problems connecting with certain common chipsets of USB/serial adapters. The market has been flooded with cheap cables which use crappy components. I believe a genuine FTDI adapter works.
Can you grab a screenshot of the device listing in your device manager where it shows the driver?
When I get home I'll try to figure out what exact cables I have. They're super long because I was tuning MR2s and the ECU is all the way in the back.

I've also noticed my check engine light doesn't come on with the key in the ON position. Is that triggered by the ecu or something else? Sounds like we're on the right track!

Would 1B be supplying power to the ECU or being powered by it? Do I check the harness or one of the leads on the ecu?

CEL is triggered by ECU, I don't believe DIYPNP has CEL functionality.
