Well, You Nailed it Mike. It was the wrong type cord.
Funny thing, when it initially didn't work, I grabbed a different cord to try, and it also didn't work.
So, I ruled it out as the problem. It took me 3 tries to find one that did, And Its the heaviest wire gauge mini USB cord I had.(no clue what gear it came from)
Ive never heard that these cords can be different, and I'm no spring chicken with this stuff.
Thanks.
