I solved it for my case!

Hello everyone, I know it has been a long time since anyone posted to this thread but I suffered from the same problem and tried everything in this thread without result (probably because I use a laptop).

until!,. I plugged in an USB expansion hub, Suddenly my kobo does recognize my computer and I can transfer files without any problems.

The particular USB expansion thingie that I used was a laptop holder from Sweex DS201 notebook station but I am pretty certain that it will work with other USB hubs as well.

I read that in some cases it is indeed the difference between voltages of the USB ports but if you have a laptop the voltages are almost always the same on all ports which is why it makes sense that only an external USB hub would work.

Good luck and let me know if it works for you too!
