n0tfeuer Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 Hello! Is this not supposed to work? I purchased a new FLIRC, Fire TV Edition from someone who told me it was supposed to work on PC as well. Since I have no micro USB on my HTPC, I purchased an adapter: "Micro USB to USB C". But when I plug it in, nothing happens. When I open the flirc software, nothing happens either. It just says "Please connect flirc" and "Disconnected". What can I do? Quote

n0tfeuer Posted October 14 Author Report Posted October 14 6 hours ago, jason said: Is this on windows? Yes! On windows 11, fresh install. I bought this adapter: "Supports charging and data transfer. Adapter for connecting a device that has a USB-C port with a Micro-USB cable. Supports charging up to 3 A and data transfer up to 480 Mb/s. USB-C male to Micro-USB female." Not sure if the adapter is the issue or something else. But the Flirc was unused when I bought it Quote
jason Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 I believe that's it. Do you have a USB -> Micro adapter you can try? Should go on the other side. Can you post a link to that adapter? Quote

Don't worry, if something is wrong with the device you received, I'll replace it. Quote
