All devices using the Android operating system have one principle of connecting to a computer. Often the user suffers from the problem of connecting the tablet via USB to a computer. There are several options for possible problems and their solutions for each user.
Why the computer does not see the tablet via USB
Problems connecting tablet with a computer can be divided into 2 main categories:
- Software.
- Technical.
The first occur when there are problems with the drivers on one of the devices, or manual configuration of the connection is required. Technical problems are characterized by defects in connectors, or arise due to the purchase of poor-quality or non-original USB-cable. Sometimes it happens because of its malfunction caused by long operation.
What to do if the computer does not see the tablet via USB
The solution of technical and software groups of problems with connecting devices via USB lies in two different planes. We will analyze in detail each category. Main software problems:
- driver malfunctions;
- inconsistency type of connection tasks.
Driver failures occur equally often on a tablet and PC. If the tablet drivers are correctly installed on your computer, but there is no connection, you need to restart the tablet. Since the matter is in the firmware of your device. This usually happens after updating the device system.
The reverse problem, when the drivers on the computer do not work or are not installed, is solved by reinstalling. To do this, unplug the cable and reinsert it, wait for the installation to complete. If this does not work, update the drivers for the connectors.
The inconsistency of the type of connection to tasks is a problem that arises only because of the user's inexperience. Modern tablets based on android when connected to a PC offer to choose the user synchronization mode with a PC. Some of them bring up a selection window on the main screen, while others show a link to it in notifications. In the latter case, there is a problem. Standard device offers to choose:
- USB data connection;
- USB modem mode;
- charging mode.
Often, the default charging mode is enabled, in which data transfer is not possible. For the 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 is usually displayed in a pop-up window, if it didn’t happen, look in the connection settings and enable permissions on them.
To solve technical problems, it will be enough to examine the cable for visual defects, check its operation with light movement in the connector. If the cable does not fit properly, it is best to replace it. In case of visual defects, a winding is also recommended replacement, even if it is operational.
In general, the problems of connecting a tablet via USB to a PC do not require special knowledge in programming, each user can solve them independently.
