Default Hydra Help....

Hello All! I got the #1 Hydra yesterday. Have the computer out of the truck trying to put calibrations on the Hydra and no matter which computer I use. When I plug the chip into the USB port on the computer with HydraFlash up. It says there is a malfuntion. Windows does not recognize the chip and HydraFlash never recognizes that the chip is plugged in. I need HELP....


Ike....

Hoss, I've moved your thread here, because the "Emergency" forum is only for those with disabled trucks.

I don't have an answer for your problem, and if there's nothing in an "owners manual" about it, you'll probably just have to call Bill at PHP to get things fixed. I know he's hard to reach, but keep trying.

- Jack

Wel - Ya know.... My truck is down.... I have the computer out to put the chip in and I have to be on the road in about 2 1/2 hours. I put it in Emergency because I was hoping for so help and wasn't expecting it to be moved. I have the #1 oredered Hydra and really was wanting it in the truck asap. It kind of upsets me that for all the cost it won't seem to work...

Just our luck... a bad USB cable. Luckily, it was an easy fix!

I received my Hydra yesterday, I haven't installed it yet but did do the programming tonight. I had a bad USB cable as well, swapped out the USB and the computer recognized it right away. A few tries with plugging and unplugging the USB so the proper drivers could be installed and I was up and running. Now that both the bootloader and standard driver sets are installed on my computer it recognizes immediately. Perhaps a bad batch of USB cables?

I should get it installed this weekend.

Hmm... sorry about the inconvenience. Looks like we need to start looking for a new USB cable manufacturer...
