Thread: Sony Ericsson Data Cable Help Thread

Here is something for anyone with Sony Ericsson phone that has this style charging data connector. These connectors/phones are prone to loose contact with the phones PC board this connector is not soldered on it is a slide on connector and the contacts to the PC board can become corroded and the connector will not work to PC and/or charge. Also the connector pins can become dirty corroded and be at fault cleaning the connector pins if they are dirty should be your first solution taking the phone apart you best be mechanically electronically inclined first.
Also Sony Ericsson has a new set of file managers out that work better with drivers. The older Ericsson drivers were known to crash XP computers after use. I know this for a personal fact. Good luck

Recently my phone memory card was recognized on my computer but now... when i plug my phone with cable on pc I get an error: "USB Device not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." when i go to to on "USB Root HUb" its writting that its "unknow device" whats wrong???
anyone could help me ? i need take many fails from my phone, but i can't

Which data cable is best for uploding animated screen savers and picture messaging?

Thanks for link

I am using a junk cable, I didn't know at the time that they were different from the ones sold by SE.. I just figured they were the same, just not with the "Sony namebrand markup"

Here is the problem I am having now

The computer can read the USB port with the Prolific drivers... I reboot, it finds the z500a with the downloaded stuff I got frome SE.. I install the filemanager and what not, I open the filemanage, and it sees the phone.. I can open the phones memory.. and I can then see the file folders... BUT: when I try and clicking on one of the folders, I get an error message saying: "An unexpected error has occured" and then shuts it down.. I then cannot see the phone again until reboot... and the same thing happens again..

I figure its probalbly just the wrong drivers for the cable. but I have no idea now to get the right drivers.

if your PC detects your data cable then this is the problem of driver compatibility or resource conflict. Check this out.
