Dopod 900 Not Recognised By Pc

[rzs77]

Hye, im a new forum user. Ive been using a Dopod 900 for quite sometime now and i love it. However, 2 weeks back, upon connecting it to my pc, an error message showed on my pc screen. It said

"USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED

One of the usb device connected to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".

At 1st i thought it was a minor problem so i decided to soft reset it. But after soft resetting it still couldn't connect.


Here's the list of things that i've done.

1. soft reset the device/pc
-connect it via cable to the usb port, still not working

2. uninstall/reinstall activesync 4.5
-not working either

3. hard reset device
-also not working

4. reformat pc (last resort)
-no avail...sigh...

HELP!!! It's driving me crazy!

The usb port seems fine, i can sill charge my device, but i can't connect it to my pc!
PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks in advance.

the problem is on your PC and not on your Device. I didn't get whether you have formated your PC or you planning to??

[rzs77]

I don't think it's my pc.
Went to a pda shop, asked the person in charge to have a look at it and he too was confused. He got the same error as i did on his pc.
He reset my device to bootloader mode and plugged in the usb cable. Something like 'usb cable' showed on my device screen. He said that the port was fine so it had to be some other problem which of course he doesn't even know.

Btw, i DID format my pc before going to the pda shop. Still nothing...Thanx for replying and being so helpfull...Hope u can help some more!

Have you tried a diff USB cable

[rzs77]

Yup! Tried a couple of different usb cables...still no luck...

Additional info-

I found out that syncing could also be done via bluetooth from a friend, so i gave it a try but, also no go...my device is not recognised...***sigh***

[rzs77]

Yes, still no luck...Ive tried a couple actually...

Was this problem solved?

I have the exact same problem. I got it to sync one time though when I disabled my firewall. But that's it.

I can't sync again.

Please, anybody who had had this problem, please share the solution.

Thanks a lot!

Have check this?
Goto your device -->settings-->connection-->USB to PC and check or uncheck advanced network functionality

That's strange. i don't have the USB to PC option on my Connections menu.

I've been suspecting my USB port to be the problem.

Could anyone please take a very clear picture of the USB port in their Uni so I can compare mine.:)

Thanks a lot.

[rzs77]

Nope...it was never solved. I ended up selling my dopod. I was so frustrated. *sigh*
