USB problem

Post by frankm »

The USB connection on my Maplin unit seems to have gone flakey. This is the second unit to have done this, the first was swapped under guarantee, but now I out of time.
Some time it connects (to the computer) and somtimes it says unit not found. Shaking, poking etc does not produce a difference, it just connects when it feels like it.
Is it worth a delve inside to see if there is a dry joint or should I go for a new setup,
I like the look of the new fineoffset 3080
Thanks
Frank

I think you may be right, it does come and go if you squeeze the cable, got one on order.........

I had one like that. I used a rubber band to hold it firmer in place until I got a new cable.
