paperclip test - can't view picture on how
« on: 15 December 2008, 17:52:14 »
Didn't know whether to post this in gen chat or gen help.

Went to paperclip test car and it is so cold I couldn't remember whether it is pins 4 and 6 top to bottom left or right. So thought I would find the excellent "how to" in maintenance guides.

Due to a "service enhancement" I haven't been able to view ANY OOF photos (not even Skruntie's) since about 6 weeks ago. Just get an icon saying "no image found in 30 seconds given up!!!" Now this may well be due in part to me using Win 98 and being on dial up but it used to work. After Christmas I am hoping to make the quantum leap to Win XP (gasps of shock) so that should help at this end.

Anyway back to paperclip test, can some kind soul remind me of the correct pins?

PS Can't use the video either they don't work on dial up!

Actually both pin 4 and pin 5 are ground and can be used.
