Re: Active Sync 4.1 & Windows Mobile 5.0

Hmmm. If it fails on one port and works on another on the same PC, there
are two things that occur to me:

1. The working port is USB [1.1 or 2.0] and the non-working one is USB [2.0
or 1.1, the opposite of the working one]. This would indicate a problem
with the USB hardware in the device and should be reported to the OEM of the
device. I don't think that MS can fix this.

2. There is a physical problem with the pins in the non-working host port on
the PC. Over time, the pins can become bent a bit and don't make good
contact with the traces in the cable that you plug into it. If the port
that does *not* work is the one that you are constantly plugging things into
and out of, that's probably what's going on. If you're talented with small
tools, you might be able to bend the pins to make them make better contact
and this might fix the problem on the non-working port. A different cable
might also work, where the one you're using doesn't (tiny variations in the
thickness of the material where the traces are can make one cable work while
another does not).

Hi!

Yep, that's the kind of thing that haunts us all, too: works just fine on
one PC with the latest AS and fails a hundred different ways on some
other combination of hardware (that MS doesn't happen to have).

Ok - somehow it seems to work now on my notebook. I tried all (2) USB
ports and the last one works. At least since yesterday. I tried all "evil"
actions and did not manage to kill USB.

The first one failed. Luckily you gave me the idea to retry this otherwise
I would never found the solution :-)

Thank you for this!

Best regards,
