Topic: Digicam problem

[A Bit of Fruit]

My friend has lost her usb cord for her digital camera (Samsung Digimax 202
) and I was wondering if anybody knows where she can buy a replacement one. I found one on Ebay but its for the digimax 401...any idea as to whether it may work with the 202?

I may be completely wrong on this, but I thought USB cables were standard, and you just needed to get the right type (type A, type B, Mini, or Mini USB2). See http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/connecters.html .

Oh, and moved to hardware.

edit>> If you can, post pix of the USB connector on the camera.

Good call, Rob. Now that I think about it ive only ever seen usb connectors that look like those on the site. In that case im guessing this other samsung model's cable will work.

afaik most usb cords are standard. the main plugs have either a large rectangular shape (the usual), a square shape, or a small trapazoidal shape. you should be able to find them any store that sells basic computer supplies

hey there you go, I guess the other model's will work then.
