If you go to Device Manager in Windows, are there any unrecognized devices listed?

Does the PC beep in any manner when you do connect / disconnect the Kobo?

Do you have any other devices that use the same mini USB connector as the WiFi Kobo does? If so, try using their cable.

You are too funny! But guess what I think I did it. I actually went to the kobobooks.com/desktops and there was an option to download so that is just what I did and I hope it will work!!

Given that micro are inherently more fragile just by the nature of their size and construction than a mini maybe that's part of the reason? Or maybe it's just a bad batch of parts and/or assembly?

"The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 1,500 for the standard USB and 5,000 for the Mini-USB receptacle" From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
