Re: Problem with USB Connection

Quote:
If your pc is running Windows 7 and your device is running 6.1, maybe that's the issue?
I don't know if the 2 are compatible, and I am just putting it out there.
Nah, it's not, the device is actually broken.

Quote:
Sounds like something in the usb port on your device has failed. Look at it with a magnifying glass and see if you see any broken or missing pins. Somehow your pc is not getting the info it needs to classify your device properly.
I want to try this, but im scared i'll break it even more :\. EDIT: err, i thought you meant inside the device, but just looking from the outside i can see one of the pins is kinda screwed, how would i go about replacing/repairing this?

EDIT AGAIN: under even closer inspection, it appears to be fine, it was also checked by a friend w/ experience with electronics and he said all the connectors inside and out where fine, he also cleaned them. He says the USB driver on the device may be screwed or something, possibly from a USB hub pumping too much voltage into it. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
