- Well, I spent a half-hour (long distance :-() on the phone with the
- Sharp Parts department in NJ (1-201-512-0055) looking for the 15-pin
- connector, and the only thing they had was the actual cable itself.
- Strangely enough, the *cable* was available for $35. So, for those
- who are interested, you have to send a check or money order (no credit
- cards) to:
- Attn: Prepaid Parts Dept.
- Sharp Electronics
- Sharp Plaza
- Mahwah, NJ 07430
- Price = ($35 * State.Sales.Tax) + $8 s/h
- Part = QCNW-1349CCZZ
- You need to specify Part, Qty, and your Model# (not sure why). Also,
- they ship UPS (8-10 days).
-
- Well, $35 (actually more like $45) is a lot cheaper that the $100+
- that the kit costs at retail, but I'm still thinking I'd like to try
- my hand at making the cable. So, has anybody been able to track down
- a Sharp Part # (or substitute) that will work?
