Have only had the Sony Touch Screen E-reader since December and managed to load books okay at first. However, now I have the following problem.

I have powered up the e-reader by a cable going from the reader to the mains - works fine, fully powered. When I plug the e-reader into the laptop, message comes up, Charging stopped, no power supply detected etc. etc'. Also on the Calibre screen there is no icon for 'device', the laptop just doesn't see it. If I go to the 'Computer' screen there is no recognition that an e-reader has been plugged in. Is it likely to be something as simple as a faulty cable?
