over the weekend my usb conection to my laptop has stopped working.

it still charges but i dont get the notification that usb is conected or the option to mount the phone. meaning i can swap files with the laptop.

im using the usb cable that came with the phone.

is there a setting i may have allterd by mistake that could cause this to happen?
 
UPDATE

usb conection is now working again..

i did in this order..

rebooted the device ......no change
took out the mem card turned hero on then off and reinserted the mem card....no change
did a factory reset....no change.

so slightly miffed i left it plugged in to the usb so it charged while i reinstalled my apps and set up the home page and bookmarks how i want.. then did some non hero stuff on the laptop.. noticed after a while the amber charging light had gone green (full charge) so i unplugged it.

just for the hell of it i then plugged it back in and the usb sync noticication imidiatly popped up at the top of the hero screen.

its worked perfectly since.

not sure if the above steps fixed it, or if the thing is just flaky and will continue to work, and not work sporadically..

time will tell i guess
