My URC 8910 was rattling for some time so I decided to open it up to investigate. The O ring was loose does anybody know what it is for?? The remote seems to work fine without it.

Pretty sure thats for the Phone or Wav upgrade process. Not needed really if your doing jp1 upgrades.

That donut looking wire coil is definitely the modem for over the phone upgrades only. You really don't have to worry about soldering any of it's connections back if you're a JP-1 er.

Like others have said, the ring is indeed the modem and it's not needed when you're programming the remote using JP1. However, if you want to re-attach it, just to make the remote whole again, first notice that there are two small spikes on the ring that line up with holes in the PCB. Also notice that there is a groove in the ring which is where the two wires are supposed to come through.

The two spots where the wires need to be re-soldered are clearly visible in the picture you posted, they are at the 12 o'clock position inside the ring in your picture.

To fix the ring itself back into position, use hot glue.

This is what happen to me a long time ago and I opened it and did the unthinkable threw the modem away..
So back to square 1. Besides me ordering the cable or trying to build one is there anywhere that I could try locally that might have have a serial JP1 cable. I live in South Florida......

Chevar,

You'll not find one locally. Look at Marketplace in these fora to see where you might order one.
