PSP *not* detected on my laptop as USB...

OK, well, I finally got a PSP (finally !!).....I have had it downgraded to 1.50 successfully, and am looking into the rapidly developing PSP homebrew scene....

But i have this problem...when I connect my PSP to my HP laptop, and turn on USB mode on the PSP, Windows XP just gives a 'Device Not Recognised' error....I have 3 USB ports, and I get the same error in all of them...also, I tried this on Windows Vista Pre-RC1 (build 5536), also installed on this same laptop...it gives the same error as well.........strangely, I dont get this error, when I connect my normal flash drive, or the iPod (in USB mode).....only the PSP.....

Strangely enough, the PSP *is* detected on my nearly 7 year old Pentium 3 machine...!!

So do I need some special drivers for the laptop ??

By the way, the laptop is HP Pavilion dv1446EA, in case anyone's wondering...

iono just get a memory card converter if u got a mem card slot it works for me

yeah i thought of that....but thats chickening out....i wanna fix this problem...

well try a differnt psp then see wat happens

I tried it on my lap top, it didnt work. I used a mem stick reader where i put my mem stick into it and its able to connect to the computer manually.
I suggest using a computer, but it should work if this is the lap top you're talking about.

weird my sisters laptop worked fine for me

reboot the laptop.

If it cant find it rebooting wont help

[crait]

i think your laptop may not have have a high speed usb hub or port or whatever

If it cant find it rebooting wont help

worked on my laptop.

His is differrent, he can proove me wrong if it works, I highly doubt it will

take it in to the place were you got the laptop and tell them wat is wrong and if u need something to make it work u could probly get it by them. but if that dont work take back ur psp for a new one

ever other USB i can think of, works on the laptop....its on the PSP that it cant detect properly........

but my old Pentium 3 can also detect all USB stuff fine, including the PSP !!

Maybe there are some special drivers needed ?

my psp can connect to my laptop but i dont use a sony cord i use a madcatz one

OK guys....I got another new cable today, and guess what...

it works,....with both the PC and the laptop.......

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

Thanx to all
