I'm pretty sure that you need a
5-pin mini USB cable, as opposed to the "usual" 4-pin mini USB.
If you can't find one from the other sources mentioned, eBay has a ton of them listed
here.
Actually, there are quite a few different styles of mini-type USB connectors around - I know of at least
3 different kinds of 4-pin alone! It can be a pain trying to find the right one for a specific device, and you never seem to have the right connector when you need it. And, of course, my teenage stepson has somehow managed to misplace the oddball cable for every device we've ever owned - digital cameras, MP4's, Palm's...
Being a computer tech, I finally broke down and bought a
9-Piece USB Adapter Kit for about $10. This covers most situations - problem solved.
Now if I can just get my stepson to find the
adapters of mine that he borrowed the other day...
best,
