boojum Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 The USB cable for my RH1 bit the big one tonight. When I plug it into my PC with no RH1 attached I get a message telling me I have plugged in an unknown device and I need to install a driver for it! Huh???Fortunately, the cable for my SONY camera works just fine. The Chinese cable with the RH1 is flimsy. Question: where can I get a replacement other than from SONY? SONY will want my first-born child; both of them. ;o)Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The B portion is (i think) considered "Mini-B", or "5-Pin Mini-B". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojum Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks! A fellow earlier had posted problems about losing this cable and having to replace it from SONY at ~US$50. CompUSA has them at US$3.50 so I will order a couple.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The NH1 has a weird proprietary cable that's hard to replace. Luckily Sony came to its senses with the RH1 and used the standard USB-miniUSB cable that comes with most cameras, PDAs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boojum Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks, all, for the help./ CompUsa had some for three or four bucks. Earlier here, I think, a fellow in GB was bemoaning the fact that SONY was getting a huge prices, like 35 or 40 quid. Get on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily Sony came to its senses with the RH1 and used the standard USB-miniUSB cable that comes with most cameras, PDAs, etc.Actually I think there are a couple of Digital Camera cables that might work with the NH1, I need a better pic of the end , then I could send a part number reference , so you couuld get some spares.

Strungup Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Amazon.jp comes up as one source , so you could order thru amazon.com. or anystore that is a Elecom dealer. CompUSA, BestBuy , electronic stores etc , RadioShack even , just take the model no. and producer name and check , I live in Japan so I couldnt help you with what is available there . Been here too long. Edited April 6, 2007 by Guitarfxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
