I bought the left angled mini USB gender cable for DR1000S and the battery pack. You can see it at the below link.

While it is used, DR1000S can't recognize PC connection by USB cable. That's to say, it regards my PC as just a USB charger - the PC connection popup doesn't show up any more. So I should pull it off and use only original USB cable for DR1000S.
Is it common thing with the angled USB gender? How can I make DR1000S work properly on the connection with PC?

ps. I'd not like to unplug the angled USB gender from the device as long as possible, so as to prevent the mini USB port from being broken - I've seen other people's some cases in the past in this forum.

Ah, I found it out that some USB cables on the market doesn't support data transfer but only power supply. The one I bought seems like this kind. So it'd be a simple problem to solve - now I'm about to order another one which also supports data transfer. I didn't know about it at all. It seems that some caution needed when buying the USB gender..
