    need help with ports to jtag ex5000

    hello all,my box died a while back and now finally have time to fix hopefully,basically reflashed ex5000pvr with a new update and only found out later it was killing boxs,when i turn it on theres nothing,no standby light,sweet f**k all,so got all the kit ready for jtagging,running a pc with xp but no paralell port,the jtag cable plugs into a usb adaptor then into pc,problem is none of the jtagging software is seeing the box re skymax or jtag, obviously the box wont power on but i was reading it should still be able to see the box or is it a port problem,any help/suggestions greatly appreciated......

    I did mine about 6 months ago, seem to remember people mentioning to use a parallel ported PC even if it meant borrowing one, as the USB interfaces may cause problems. Any way good luck.
