    samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 no longer recognized by xp laptop
    « on: September 02, 2013, 07:14:33 AM »
    Hi

    I use my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 to surf the net. Its great as it functions as mobile or desktop so I can do anything.
    I download stuff on it , and at the start simply plugged it in the usb socket on my acer aspire 5610 laptop running xp sp3 , and transferred data quickly and easily , but then one day I plugged it in and a popup bubble appeared in the system tray on the bottom tight hand corner saying an unrecognized device was plugged in and it had probably malfunctioned.

    Ive tried different usb sockets  with the same result.
    Ive tried plugging it into a different pc , with same result.
    Ive tried backing up and rebooting the galaxy tab , back to factory default , but that didnt work either.

    The data cable is also the power cable and it charges as normal.
    I havent been using the cable to whip tigers in a circus or anything so I dont understand how the cable may have failed if that is what it is.

    Can anyone help ?

    Thanks in advance
