USB connectivity issues - possible simple solution

Post by iixorb »

Hi,

I am posting this in case it helps anyone with the same issue I had yesterday!

I wanted to connect my TB-03 to my laptop, primarily to backup some of my patterns.

I know how to get the TB-03 into 'USB memory device' mode (by holding RUN/STOP whilst switching it on) but it just would not connect to my laptop. And it wouldn't connect to my other PC either; there was power to the TB, but just no data communication.

I tried a different USB cable and still no joy.

Then I tried a QUALITY USB cable from an Amazon device and it worked perfectly !! So despite my numerous cheap USB cables being able to power the TB, it seems not all cables are made equally; the Amazon Echo dot one can handle power and data connectivity so the moral is, use a good quality USB cable !

Hope this helps !
