| Post subject: | LG4X problems |
I have a LG4X unit I picked up used and while testing it tonight I had the following problems: 1. Power sliders give reversed value on model lights and strobe power (full power gives me 1/32 on the strobe) 2. Sync-input and FIRE button do not fire strobe. Is this simply a RJ11 cable problem? I read somewhere on the forum that the LG4X requires a cross-over cable. I'm using a couple of standard RJ11 cables I had around from old phones/modems (I've only got these 2 with 4 wires). One is NOT a cross-over, I can't tell about the other. Thanks! |

Yes, both of these characteristics are totally possible with a non-crossover style cable. You must have a 4 or 6 conductor cross over cable. |

OK thanks. If I pick up a standard RJ11 phone 4-conductor cord at the electronics store, is it likely to be cross-over or not? Otherwise I need to track down my friend with the cable crimper to make my own. :) |

Hard to say, really. It should not be a problem to find them, and they should be marked on the package. We carry them here: http://www.paulcbuff.com/powercords.php (second to last) |
