Re: Can you help?

Good grief, I'm confused.

I was able to take pics off of my camera until my keyboard got wet.

When I replaced the keyboard with a model with no USB port attached, I was forced to use another port.

I tried the 2 that are on the computer itself.

It now says it "can't find the digital camera".

I don't know enough about technology (can you tell) to know what to do. I do not have the installation CD any longer.

I wonder if somehow the usb cable was damaged by the water?

not really.
but anywhoo, maybe this can help

1) there is a serial to usb convertor cable that
you can buy at the computer store.

2) the usb's may not be enabled in the
cmos for your computer.

However there are 2 speeds for usb. your motherboard
may be a slower one if the pc is a little old. But
your kb may require the faster usb type.

The computer store people can give you a bunch
of info if you are confused. You can buy a usb board
and install on your motherboard with the faster type of usb
if your kb requires it and maybe your webcam too. There
are usb hub's too with different speeds.

hope these help.... G.L.

My keyboard had a serial port on it. I guess that is what it is called.
OH WAIT!! NO!! It had a USB Port...duh!

After I damaged the keyboard, I tried to use the two USB ports that were
available ON my computer.

Does that help?

not really clear on your posting.
"my camera was attached to the serial port"
then you say
"so i connected my camera to a serial port on my computer"

do you mean your keyboard had one of those y cables
that split off for the webcam?

I replaced my keyboard. My cable to my camera was attached to the
serial
port. MY new keyboard doesn't have the same connection, so I connected
my
camera to a serial port on my computer.

Now it says that it cannot find the camera.

What should I do? I can't find the cd that came with it.

It's a Concord Eye Q 4330z.

Thanks!!
