USB is not working anymore

[Fireblade900rr]

Hi !

I have the following Problem.

Charging via USB is working and also the headest, but icannot sync via usb or do anything else.

What can i do ?? Wheres the Problem ?

Question; Are you using a charger in the car?

[Fireblade900rr]

Yes the original T-Mobile charger

[prodinho]

Well I guess that must be the bad guy.. do you plug your phone in the charger before turning on the engine? That causes higher voltage peaks which can damage the USB-circuit.
Since your using the original charger supplied you should send your device in for repair.

OK, thanks for your answers.

What's the good way for charging the device in a car?
Thanks

The safest thing to do is to start the engine before plugging in your device.

Try re-installing active stink on your main computer.

Maybe that will sort it.

Hi i've the same problem. When the phone is turned on in the bootloader it doesn't say anything on the left bottom of the screen (normaly there was standing something like "USB"). and now its blank? ActiceSync isn't working eather and WM5 storage doesn't work. I only use the original USB cable and charger from the phone. when i plug in the usb it starts charging. but no usb connection.

Please help?

same problem as above, same as my Artemis, blown USB board. If its still under a year old send it for repair. Mine is over a year old now, so i cant get it fixed (unless i pay) :(

I just called T-Mobile Dutch, they will send him on repear. this is my second mdac3 in one year that needed to be send on repear. I hate it when i need to mis my telephone. hopefully when it comes back from repair it's fixed.

So if you got the same problem that USB is not working, you need to send it on repair. because you can do nothing about it

(fixes typefaults)

Nope, no respons from the computer or the phone

yeh, sounds like you need to send it for repair :(

[Fill]

Yeah, but before i can send him on repair, i need to flash the original rom back on the phone, but how can i do this without an activesync connection? is there a way to do it from the SD-card? Please help me, otherwise i cannot send my device on repair. thanks in advanced

yes the correct way is u start the engine then plug ANY ADDITIONAL instrument so that the output of the power outlet in your car will be from the dynamic distributor and not from the battery directly!!

apparently there is a company in London that will do the repair for £20, not sure on details tho.

i'll have a look around, as i'm looking to get mine repaired too. If you find details please post :)

hello.

Mine has the same problem as you guys. Does anyone knows already where to repair and its costs? thanks

[Fill]

Mine just got back from repair, everything is working fine again, i got a new board in it.

My repair was within the warrenty, so it cost me nothing.
