USB lead wont work!!!

[tourerjim]

Not been on Phoenix since last winter & just plug in the lead which Phoenix acknowledged then plug into TX which then switches on but Phoenix still ask to connect TX, cant see any wires broken could it be that Phoenix wont except my dongle as the lead is about 4 years old now & I did have far few updates to go through.

The age of the lead should not matter as long as the condition is good.
Have you tried to plug it into a different usb port?

Just a thought..
have you restarted pc after updates?
might help

Just tried my other TX & its the same so it must be a fault with the lead, is there a way to test the lead..?

Its the jack plug on the end of the lead (the conduct plating on the plug wares out and doesnt conduct between the tx and lead), ive had it happen twice u either send it back to phoenix and get a new lead or get a sim stick and neva have to worry abou it again.

Wen my current lead wared out i will be getting a sim stick so i dont need to keep buying new phoenix leads!!

or... take the top off the dongle locate the red lead from the jack plug... remove a tiny bit of insulation and check with a meter to the tip of the jack plug... should be no more than a few ohms....

thats a good lead...

FOUND IT" white wire was broken within itself inside the black box so I cut the wires at that point & soldered back together & it works
