K750i won't connect to PC
in [UK Mobile]

From: The Drone on 10 Apr 2008 13:10 Guys 'n' Gals, A month or so ago I tried to plug my SE K750i into my PC (XP SP2) to download some photos. The phone said it was being charged but the PC seems to have no inkling that it's connected. I can't force it to pick it up when it can't see anything there at all. I've not been able to connect it to the PC since. Can anyone suggest what might (not) be happening? Thanks, -- Peter

Are you selecting "phone mode" or "file transfer mode" when plugging in? -- Regards Jon

I think so as I've managed to get photos off the camera and synchronise the contacts with WAB before. >Are you selecting "phone mode" or "file transfer mode" when plugging in? I'm not selecting anything - and I don't recall ever having selected anything like that before. I'm beginning to suspect the PC is playing up. I have a couple of permanently connected USB devices that work OK but I can't get anything "temporary" to pick up. I knew about the phone; I've just tried my satnav without success so I tried a boring memory card reader. Neither picked up and all three had been bomb-proof until a month or so ago. Sugar. -- Peter |
