Re: Phone & PC wont connect by cable...

Could you please try out these steps

 

  1. Exit Nokia Suite (File -> Exit ) and Disconnect you device from your PC
  2. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers
  3. See if your device is listed there. Right click you device and delete it.
  4. Now connect you device
  5. A bubble notification, "Installing device drivers for your device will appear up", click that bubble
  6. See if all the things go successfully
  7. If it is all OK then start Nokia Suite (If not, then take a screenshot of that and upload it in reply to this post)
  8. Start Nokia Suite and see if your device is shown as connected
  9. Now try out updating your phone software

I hope it will help you to connect your phone via USB.

Cheers,
Marina

Re: Phone & PC wont connect by cable...

Hi,

 

First check your cable.

Then check you see your device on PC or not? If not, theninstall drivers for you device.

What is your OS?

 

You can try also this:

 

1. Open Nokia Suite

2. Go to Tools->Options->My Phones

3. Click "Remove this phone"

4. Reboot the computer, open Nokia Suite, connect the phone and add the device

Re: Phone & PC wont connect by cable...

Hi, no thats the whole point, it wont connect either of the phones so I cant remove them as they are not there...

Because they are so old I had to install the 7.1 version of suite, but still not working with the cable...

I am using XP Home edition Service pack 3 on my laptop

I am using Vista on my PC

Any more ideas?

Thanx x
