Hello good people!
(let me know if i should create a new post and not to continue this long one..)
My issue with Literati (i purchased it from craiglist without usb cable) is i cannot connect toa PC/Linux - not recognized. I know now - it is a common issue. The reason i post here - is to get information before i start my little project (disassembly) to fix it. I looked at USB port inside the reader from the outside on the angle and saw it has 1 metal pin missing out of 5 or so inside the usb connector. If you look at the usb port you should see metal pins inside plastic, going (left to right)- pin; empty; pin ;pin; pin. I would like to confirm with any literati owner who has working usb port to confirm that it is on every reader and it is not a missing pin issue but finding "magic" cable and port issue...
Thank you for any help i get!
