I was checking some of the files on my usb. When it became unresponsive I rebooted it. After doing so, my usb ports wouldn't recognize any usbs(camera, printer, etc.) I kept trying and I got them to work but the flash drive doesn't. The computer doesn't recognize it even though it's plugged in.I've already checked on My Computer but there's nothing there.Please help

Have you tried re-loading the firmware?

See this page for your tablet. Support Firmware

try reebot you computer and check its ok or not.then tryinstall new sofware..if no respon maybe you mouse crack at usb port power suply..try open it and resolder..

Go into the BIOS. Disable the USB ports. Reboot. Message gone? Turn off. Check with flashlight if dustbunny, or foreign oject in port? Reboot- go back to BIOS. ENABLE USB. Reboot. GOOD LUCK!!

Yes, It sounds like a USB problem. I have a PDA and this was happening to me. Now I have to plug my PDA into a USB port on the back of my computer to keep it Synced up.. Try a port on the back. These ports have more power available to power these devices.

have you placed the usb cable into another port, if not do so and see if this works.

another thign is to try a new USB cable to see if there is an issue with it. Check the rear of the unit to make sure the usb mini port is not damaged.

When reconnecting it to the computer does the computer recognize the drive and installs it? if so and there is no drive letter, you can right click my computer/computer and click manage. from there you can use the disk managment to set a drive letter. From here you can also check to see if there is a conflict in device manager.

you might have a virus on it. scan it with a virus software program. also try another usb port. some times the 2.0 ports don't work on the 1.0 ports.


hope this helps

Hi, this might help you:

This is not so easy, and depends on how skilled you are in configuring pc's, but here i go:

go to Control panel> system>system properties> device manager

in this screen you can find information about stuff like what devices are recognized by your pc.

try and seek wether your ps2 devices are recognized an if so, if the system can control them to.

if not it might also be your usb ports or similar ports that aren't decently controled and por recognized by your pc, so make sure they work fien to by trying other devices on the same ports.

I hope this is useful, and greets.

First. reboot the computer. If you leave your computer on all the time, an occasional reboot will often clear up an unresponsive program and "sharpen the teeth" so-to-speak. If you've done this, try going directly from USB cable to the camera. If it is still unresponsive, try plugging into a DIFFERENT USB port on the computer. If you've done all of this with the same cable, try using that cable and camera on a different computer. If it is unresponsive there, you may suspect the cable as being bad. Try a different cable. If you're still having issues, suspect that the USB port in the camera has gone bad and have a reputable repair shop take a look at it.

try other usb port, or other computer, if still have problem, download a usb recovery software, one I used before is Asoftech Data Recovery, you can follow this guide for usb recovery
usb file recovery guide

Hi there what OS do you have loaded?

Im assuming you have XP loaded.....
have you tried to unistall and reinstall the USB ports?
reboot and restart,
should auto recognise the device and self install,
reboot and restart,Test usb
dont for get SP2 updates for functionality of the devices

Let me know the outcome thanks
