I was so close to break this thing! but it's finally working.

I got an used tablet (first gen) 12x12 for $10 in a garage sell. Well, it turns out it had a serial mac connection :? . So I bought a serial connector for pc ($30).

After that I couldn't get the tablet to work for the love of my life! I opened the tablet, checked the connections, and every seemed fine :? .

So I decided to contact wacom and ask them what could be wrong with my tablet. They mention to check my ac convertor and they gave me a part#. Well after checking on the internet the convertor's specification, I realize that my convertor was a 9V and the one that they mention was a 12V.

To make the story short, I went to readioshack ($20) and now I have a fully working tablet :D

wait wait wait....so first you bought the tablet for $10, then you spent $30 on a converter, then you spent an additional $20 on another converter thing? You could have almost had a new tablet!

First, I was planning to spend only $10....

second, I spend $30 on a serial cable and $20 on a converter

However, please find me a new 12x12 wacom tablet for $60.
