Windows can't see my PocketBook PB616W.
Windows can no longer see my PocketBook PB616W.
It does charge when attached to the computer. Settings on ereader for USB Mode is PC link. Settings on Windows 10 is to "ask me every time" for removable drive. There isn't a separate setting for the ereader. I can connect to wifi and the device says the software is up to date. It's version U616.5.17.2173 I've checked the USB Root Hub (USB 3.0) in Device Manager on the puter and it says the latest driver is installed. All of the buttons seem to be working, I can navigate around the ereader easily enough. Any other info I can supply? Any ideas? TIA Last edited by rube; 12-03-2021 at 01:34 AM. |

Just to make sure you did not skip the 'obvious' actions:
- Did you try with different USB cables? - Did you try different USB ports? Quite often in situations like this the cable seems to be the culprit. They don't have eternal life. |

(I knew I was forgetting to state something) Yes, I've changed cables and used a different computer!

Also, new thing discovered, if the ereader is connected to wifi it doesn't want to connect via cable. Just retrieved the cables I threw out to recheck if they are working.
Fiddly bloody system. |
