i have the nano wannabe, (says 2gb but really 1gb no matter how many times i flash the firmware)

i lost the mini usb cable, i went to radio shack, and they have a 4pin and a 5pin mini usb but neither fit. anyone know where i can find a replacement?

i will be able to later when i get home.
i see usb cables on ebay for mp3 mp4 players, but i feel like it is just a 4/5pin mini usb.

since i dont have the picture atm, it looks just like a 4/5pin mini usb port, but it is smaller

i think thats the one they use for easyshare digital camera pictures, or is it the same one as a psp?, i would say its the same as the psp which is pretty standard

it is definitely not a standard cable

but it may be compatible with the easy share usb cable, since i used to have a cheap 640x480 camera with no viewfinder that used some propieratry usb cable as well.

where can i find this?

otakueric , i think i know which cable you are talking about. It is quite hard to find, never seen it in stores yet. But some people in the forum managed to get a replacement cable from shops selling digital cameras. Probably you could try your luck there.

Or look for those universal USB cable/connectors, they usually have a set of various plugs and 1 might fit.

Last alternative is to buy another from your seller.
