USB cable needed

[Guest kevm1]

Hi,

When i got my P10AN01 (aka Advent Vega) tablet back in January i did not receive the USB cable to connect to a pc.

At the time i didn't realise that one was needed but now as i want to update the rom etc, i need to buy one.

I bought one from Ebay for a couple of pounds but although it fitted (usb type a - usb type a), it would not install the drivers which it should do as soon as plugged in. Nothing comes up in device manager at all. I bought 2 cables and both won't work.

I realise that it could be the cables at fault (low quality maybe) but didn't want to keep buying cables that don't work so i thought i would ask here.

I have seen some on Ebay described as Data tansfer cables which cost around £10 compared to the ones i bought which were only £1.50.

Does anybody know if these will work ( i can post a link if allowed to) or should a basic USB to USB cable work??

I hope someone can help as i have seen what the Vega can do but i'm stuck with the stock, out of the box version :~(

Thanks
