USB Port Charging possible but no connection with MAC or PC

Post by Bobo »

Hello guys,

I am using the OSTC 2N (yes the good one with OLED :-) ) for almost 3 years. Serial number is 5668. It worked fine but now it will not connect to PC or Mac. Charging is possible but no Serial Port will be mounted. When I connect the OSTC to the PC it will give a message that the USB Device will not work .. :-(....

Any Idea ??..

Mine does this sometimes. I need to wiggle the USB connector at the OSTC end. Also try putting some WD40 on it.

Good Morning together,

first of all thank you for your comments.

@ Bardass: Already done, other device works fine
@ Clownfisch: Unfortunately this was not working :-(

Any other ideas?
I changed the Cable, reinstall the Driver, Change from Mac to two different PC's, Restart the OSTC, Reset Log and all CF.

Any Comments from the HW-Team?

Hi,

Just send the unit to us (email first to info@heinrichsweikamp.com) we'll get this working again. Probably some corrosion or dirt.

regards,
Matthias
