The RCX 1.0 is the first model in the RCX line of Lego Mindstorms programmable bricks.

How to fix RCX 1.0 I.R. problem?

The LEGO RCX 1.0 powers ON and all built-in programs work well. But when I tried downloading or even communicating with the I.R. Tower, the RCX wont respond! =(

Which component should be replaced or re-soldered? Please anyone... help pls. I just need to know.. which hardware component is at fault... so I can fix it.

Thank you =)

hello, i have the same problem like sirgilberts.

I'm working in a Schoolboard and i have 6 RCX 1.0 bricks with the same problem. I am interested if someone finds a solution.

The main problem is that Windows does not recognize the IR tower. This happens with versions newer than XP.

it sounds like it may be a software problem, make sure you're up to date with any drivers for your console
