USB cord broke?

[Flatcoatluver]

My usb cord to my camera just broke. :( I have a warrenty on my camera, is it possible for them to send me a cord or do and can I buy one somewhere? My camera is a Kodak (BOO) EasyShare c330. I was going to buy a camera when my warrenty was out which was in June 2008, but maybe I will have to get one sooner.

How did it break?

USB cords are pretty universal... is one end a regular flat USB end (that goes in the comp) and the other a "mini usb" (that goes in yoru camera). If so, those are everywhere and not expensive at all. In fact, our MP3 player came with one, both my cameras, my cell phone... and they're all the exact same. We just use one USB cord that stays hooked to my comp and use it for everything.

If yours has a special end that connects to your camera, then yes you will probably have to get a replacement from Kodak. But newer cameras use mini USB I do believe.

Thanks. I will have to check around, maybe try circuit city or best buy.

The mini usb part broke in half, it bend first and then it broke when my camera fell of my desk.

can I buy one somewhere?

Take the Bad one WITH you (to compare & match with),
and visit the closest:

* WalMart
* Staples
* Office Depot
* Best Buy
* Computer City

ANY of these, and similar stores, should have a replacement USB cable.

Actually you *should* be able to find it at stores like Walmart, Target, etc.

I'm not sure about your camera specifically, but I lost the USB cord to something, can't remember now, and I used the cord from my camera and it worked for both...if not you could always get a card reader. It's faster then plugging it in from the camera directly and it's not that expensive. That's what I use for mine.
