There's a good chance the failure is in the serial transceiver. as this is the part that would likely be damaged by external electrical overload. Take the computer apart and use an oscilloscope to see if signals are making is across the transceiver.

You can replace the serial transceiver if you know how to do surface mount device rework.

I hope this is the right list... and according to instructions it is, although the PB G3 kanga is a vintage thing!

BTW. The serial port of my old Kanga no longer works. TechTool in not very useful in telleing me if it is a software related error.

I reinstalled the software and still does not work.

Before replacing the logic board have you got any ideas, i.e. diagnostic etc...

TIA
