RE: Help programming WP 34s
I dunno, I've flashed WP34s many times using no power but the calculator batteries and while it sometimes took a couple of tries holding wires to the pads, it didn't break anything. I now have the official flash cable, which is less fiddly, but both work. I've flashed these successfully under both Win 7 and Win 10

It seems like you get the communication error on MySamba right away. Are you sure you have MySamba configured for the proper COM port under Windows Device Manager? If that is wrong, an error like what you are seeing will result.

Go Control Panel → System → Device Manager → Ports and verify whether it's COM5, COM7, or whatever that the USB cable gizmo is using. MySamba comes up with some default, but it has no idea what the proper setting is until you tell it. Make sure MySamba gets set to agree with reality.

Good luck!
