I had that same issue with one of my QWest 6800's.
I thought at first it was a ROM/Radio issue, or
when I changed bootloader from 2.47 to 2.40.
Then the data cable would not function any more.
So I opened it up (2Yr. old refurb, self serv warranty).
Found some "crap" stuck across the USB terminals on the board.
I guess the refurb "Tech" was having lunch at the time he put this together.
Solder wick, a "BIG" magnifying glass, and a "Oh well, it's junk anyway" attitude, and I got lucky.
I would not advise trying this unless you: 1. Are out of warranty 2. Have no insurance, 3. Have no real need for the unit. (IT MAY GET DOA).
