I hate dongles
We have a rotary engraving machine at my work. Expensive as hell. Well it has one of those USB security dongles. It has 4 little prongs inside of it. One of our dimwit employees somehow broke one of those prongs off and now we can't engrave this plate that a customer needs tonight. I called the company that made/sold the machine, and they told me that dongle will cost 1,000 dollars. REALLY!?! ****. That. It's our machine. We bought it. We shouldn't have to shell out a thousand dollars for a piece of dog shit, cheaply made dongle just to use it.

So my question is, is there any way to bypass that security thing? I've looked online and cannot find anything. The machine is called Vision Engraving & Routing 1624.

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend a reliable USB to DB-9/RS-232 dongle? I got a POS one from Radio Shack and it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Wow. Sounds like extortion.

You should be able to solder the pin back in. If it's on a desktop, I'd consider just soldering the dongle to the board inside the chasis.

Sure thing. Not the sexiest or smallest, but I've never had a problem on WinXP/7, Slack/Mint, or OSX. Used mostly for GPS unit while war driving, and has never melted being left in the car on a summer day in Vegas. Pretty damn strong.

I'd do something like this, but instead of fitting a female USB head, I'd just solder directly to the security dongle. May have to crack the housing, but as long as you don't damage the internal board you shouldn't have any issues. Just use low heat.
