P3600 - No longer syncing - Help!

[homogenius]

Hi,

Had my HTC P3600 (bought sim free in UK) since Jan. Updated the ROM to Dopod GPS ship ROM few weeks ago. All going fine, then for past week phone stopped activesyncing via USB. Still Charges fine via AC adapter and when connected to PC via USB but:

-not recognised by async (have tried every version I can find)
-not detected as a device in windows exlorer, nor device manager
-tried two different PCs - no luck
-my friends TyTn synced fine on my PC tonight
-have changed start/settings/connections/usb to pc - no luck
-have hard reset few times - no luck
-have reinstalled previous HTC ship ROM (had to use SD card flash) - still no sync

Any ideas anyone?
I think maybe my USB connector has lost its data connections yet still allows charging. Is that likely, I take great care with my phone & never had that problem in over 2 years of using my SPV M500?

Is my only option to send it back to Rankhour.com??

Cheers

I had the same problem. I used SPB backup to backup appointments and other data but excluded system files. I then hard reset my device, executed the spb backup file (which is an exe from sd card) and all is OK.
Note I also was not hearing any reminders, the pda would switch on but no sound.
Best of luck.

From your observations I highly suspect a defective cable...
Try to find another cable..

Please note that USB charging may be possible by a defective cable as only 2 pins are needed, while all pins must be in a perfect shape to communicate with device.

Good luck.
