Hello, My USB device got bent. I carfully bent it back and it looks okay but my computer said it malfunctioned. Is there any way to get my info off of it?

Hello, Jorge.

It would help to know "exactly" what the error message states, such as "The USB Device Not Recognized" or something like that. Here are a couple of things to try in order to narrow down the problem source:
1. Try a different USB connection on the computer. If that one works, the problem is probably that other connection port.
2. If none of the ports work with the printer, try a different USB-powered device, such as a cell phone and charging cable. If it works, the problem lies with the printer/computer connection (more likely the printer).
3. If none of the USB ports work, the problem might be your USB port itself. Go to "Device Manager" (in Control Panel), then look for "Universal Serial Bus controllers." Check to see if any have a disabled symbol. Check under "Properties" that device status is: "This device is working properly." If not, try updating the drivers (under the "Driver" tab).

Damaged usb port? See if contacts are bent. Bad wifi adapter is possible. Try another wireless device in the port (mouse, keybd) to see if port is okay. Some adapters require that you install software before using, but this should not cause reboots.

What kind of keyboard connector does it have?

If the end of the connector is round with pins (serial connection), just plug the keyboard back in and reboot the computer. With that style of connector, if they get knocked out or come loose while the computer is running, they will not always work again until you reboot.

If the keyboard uses the flat plug (USB) connector, the computer should be able to pick it up again without a reboot when you reconnect it. Also note that if the keyboard is USB and it stops working; if you have any other USB items hooked up as well (IPod, webcam, external drive,etc), check to see if any of those devices are still working either before rebooting your system. Sometimes, another unrelated USB device may crash causing ALL USB devices to fail simultaneously. If this is the case, unplug all USB devices except your keyboard and reboot. If the keyboard works again, reinstall all of your other devices one at a time until you locate the one that crashed all of them (if that was the case).

Hope this helps.

Try resetting the device. Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit for 15 seconds or so (you'll need a bent paperclip to push the button in its hole).

See if that helps.

You could try using a different USB cable (in case there's something wrong with that cable).

Let us know if those worked, okay?

if u got it back in place an it looks fine then id plug it in an see if it sounds the same if it does just slowly *** more power if it sounds fine u okay

Hello,

Such questions, This is not ERROR, but unit has malfunctions, you should contact your local Sony Ericsson authorized repair outlets, allowing engineers to help you solve the problem!

Hope this initial info helps

i keen to to find that wich type of device you want to connect to the usb port. i think its a usb hard drive. if other please check this first. 

Look in "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" the device may show up as a drive or connected device.

Hi,

Some times this error message will pop up.

Just disconnect it.

Shut down the system.

Wait for some time.

Turn it back on.

Connect it in the computer USB port & not in the USB hub or something.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.

Live, Love, Laugh.

First ipod cables only work on ipod.
Second if you bent the connections (even just one) so that it is not connecting inside your ipod you will need to get that fixed.
You should reboot your computer and try again first though.
