Hi again
Thank you for all of the advice. I have bought a new HEX-V2 3 user cable for £225.00 incl VAT and rapid delivery from here:
https://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VCV23.html
I actually ordered it on Sunday morning and it arrived with me at 11.30 am today (Tuesday). Excellent service and I am up and running.
Just got to sort out the codes for Fingerprint id now!
Thanks again!
