Where Can I Get A Cheap Replacement Usb 2.0 Cable For Fujitsu Storagebird External Hard Drive ?

[CW1]

Hi,

My Fujitsu Storagebird's stopped working in that it isn't being picked up by any devices I plug it in to, it powers up ok. I think it *may* be the USB cable but am having trouble finding it on the Internet. Just want a cheap one to test it.

The cable I have is marked "USB cable E164571 AWM 2725 VW-1 80° 30V 28AWG/IPR AND 28AWG/2C SZWINTEC" but when I search that, the results look nothing like my cable, which is squarish at one end, with a white edging inside (similar to this printer cable but not quite so square)

I doubt that it's the cable that's at fault but, if you want to try another one, see here:

Thanks Buenchico, I did see that one but tho' it *may* be the right one, I decided that was too much to pay when I can't see the connections to *know* it's the right one.

What else could the problem be if it powers up ok ?

Ahh, ok thanks. I've tried plugging it into 2 different PCs & direct into the tv (which I've done before with no probs) so still thinking it's the cable ;)
