Problems connecting a tablet to a computer can be divided into 2 main categories:
- Software.
- Technical
The first ones arise when there are problems with the drivers on one of the devices, or manual connection settings are required. Technical problems are characterized by defects in the connectors, or arise as a result of buying a poor-quality or non-original USB cable. Sometimes they happen due to its malfunction caused by long operation.
What to do if the computer does not see the tablet via USB
Solving technical and software groups of problems with connecting devices via USB lies in two different planes. We will analyze in detail each category. Key software issues:
- driver malfunctions;
- mismatch of connection type to tasks.
Driver malfunctions occur equally often on the tablet and PC. If the tablet drivers are correctly installed on your computer, but the connection does not occur, you must restart the tablet. Since the matter is the firmware of your device. This usually happens after updating the system of the device.
The inverse problem, when the drivers do not work or are not installed on the computer, is solved by reinstalling. To do this, disconnect the cable and reinsert it, wait until the end of the installation. If this does not help, update the drivers for the connectors.
Inconsistency of the type of connection to tasks is a problem that arises only due to the inexperience of the user. Modern tablets based on android, when connected to a PC, offer the user to select a synchronization mode with a PC. Some of them display a selection window on the main screen, while others show a link to it in notifications. In the latter case, a problem arises. As a standard, the device suggests choosing:
- USB connection for data transfer;
- USB modem mode;
- charging mode.
Often, by default, the charging mode is turned on, in which data transfer is impossible. For a correct connection and subsequent data transfer, select the USB connection in the connection window.
Also on some devices to display the file system of the tablet in your computer, it should not be blocked. It is advisable to open the file system through the built-in explorer.
A number of devices also require manual permission for a USB connection in the settings. What usually appears in a pop-up window, if this did not happen, find in the connection settings and enable permissions for them.
To solve technical problems, it will be enough to examine the cable for visual defects, check its operation with easy movement in the connector. If the cable is loose in the connector, it is best to replace it. For visual defects of the winding, replacement is also recommended, even if it is operational.
In general, the problems of connecting the tablet via USB to a PC do not require special programming knowledge; each user can solve them independently.
