Sierra Wireless 885, card not found !

[steo1971]

Hello,
after almost one year, I tried it again without success.

I still have my 15 credits which I cannot use.

This is what I did.
1) I inserted my SierraWireless 885 card and the watcher was able to detect it and I could start it and go on Internet.

2) Dc-unlocker was not able to find the card.

3) Then, I read that I had to go to special drivers to install a specific driver and so I did. http://www.dc-unlocker.com/special_m...s_installation

4) Now, my device manager looks like the picture attached. So, it looks as in your help page for special drivers.

5) At this point the card is not more visible under Modems nor under Network Adapters, nor under Universal Serial Bus controllers. It see it only under Dc-Unlocker devices.

6) I tried again with Dc-Unlocker but what I get is
----------------
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.0436

Detecting card :

selection :
manufacturer - SierraWireless
model - Auto detect

card not found !
-----------------

What did I do wrong?

Thanks.

Dc-ulocker does not need special drivers any more. Use the latest dc-unlocker version.
If you can not detect modem you should check the fallowing:
Check, if the drivers are installed
Check, if the connection software for this modem is closed and modem is not connected to internet
Check, if you use autodetect function in dc-unlocker software
Check, if you use latest dc-unlocker software version.

Maybe this can help others

Hello,
in the end it worked. I did all the checks you suggested without any result.
Then, by chance I pressed the Detect Card botton several times in a row (I was a bit mad ) and it worked. It found it.
If I press it only once or with several seconds pause between, it doesn't see it, but twice or three times very fast, then it finds it.
Well, since many people experienced the problem that the software does not recognize the USB Modem, well maybe this could be an additional try to make.
