USB Port Dead

[jhsband84]

Just today my USB port seems to have died. My cable is good, I tested with my hubby's S7. But mine... when plugged in to the computer, nothing. Anyone know of any tricks? or should I just get a warranty swap?

The USB driver on the PC is not the problem. As I mentioned, when I hook up my hubby's S7 to this PC, we get the notifications that the internal and SD card can be accessed. But my S7 does nothing. It appears to be something on my S7, with the USB port.

My secondary question is whether having done the app2sd mod will affect the warranty....

Since the USB is dead, is there a way to get to the a2sd partition on the internal memory? What program is necessary?

Edit: I want to delete the app2sd partition and add that amount of space back to the internal memory. Can that be done thru an emulator or some other software on the tablet?

If you are able to see both partition(sdcards) under windows it seem that you have brook something on your tablet. It was happened to me, what I did was to reflash an original update and every think was ok. At that time when my tablet didn't work normally I was able to mount my sdcard on windows only if I uncheckc the debug option from settings. Doing like this i was able to mount my sdcard on my windows 7 computer.

Unfortunately, no. I don't get the notifications on the tablet when the USB cable is inserted, nor does Windows see any drives. I'm going to try installing clockwork per pbrauer's suggestion and see if I can delete the app2sd partition.

Speaking of clockwork mod.... assistance with this will be appreciated.

pbrauer provided this link to clockwork mod: Viewsonic G Tablet: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki. It talks about pressing Volume UP plus the power button. What key sequence works for the S7?

Edit: also looked this thread: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...0-recovery-s7-clockworkmod-recovery-port.html. No luck getting any key combination to do anything. Need help desperately!! Please

Edit2: installed clockworkmod from the market. now what?? totally lost.

Solved!! Thanks to pbrauer, xaueious, goodoane, and joenilan for their assistance. Goodoane suggested reformatting the internal memory from Settings > SD Card & Tablet Storage. Brilliantly simple and effective. Good work guys
