Losr USB connection

zappy61 · Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2005 7:20 am Post subject: Losr USB connection

Can anyone help. I have used USB connection for my cradle and 3970 for 18 months. Suddenly I lose the connection. I have tried soft reset, configuring the connection settngs to usb and checked the cable but to no avail. However, I can connect using COM1 which I can't work out am I missing something in the settings?

USB connection to where ? to the PC ? or do you have a USB GPS receiver? In that case, do you have a serial to USB converter cable?

I have lost the usb connection to the pc from the cradle. I can connect via com1 but not usb, it has been fine for 18 months. Ichecked the cable its ok and also the settings in activesync connections on the pda. Any suggestions?

I had something similiar after I toyed with Check_Notifications and managed to delete the "wakeup on connection" notification for repllog.exe

Plug in the USB cable, set ActiveSync to USB and then run \windows\repllog.exe on the PocketPC - see if that helps.

Sorry Lutz but I don't seem to have that file, could it be deleted?

That would be pretty bad. In this case only a hard reset will help to restore the link (the file itself is in ROM)

Backup the whole Pocket PC, do a hard reset, confirm USB is working, and do a complete restore.

Thanks,
I ran the file by using the open path command in windows file explorer. It said 'usb connecting to host' but it still won't connect. Any other suggestions please?

Tried reinstalling activesync with all latest updates to 3.8, made sure pda is set to usb, even turned off firewall, no joy. Still keeps saying verify the connection and if I go next does the same again. I can't get com ports now so I am really stuck. Any more suggestions?
