Olympus camera not able to connect to the computer.
by coltson from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CWB4)
Hi. I do have an Olympus camera that has been showing increased difficult to connect to the computer.
In the beginning, all I had to do was to connect the usb cable, the display would light up, becoming white. Then I would press up a certain button, the display would suddenly become black, a led would become red, and a few moments latter a dialog box would show up to alert that the connection was established.
With the passing of time, it would became more an more difficult to execute such procedure. Finally, in the last few days, when I try to connect, after the display becomes white, I press the button and nothing happens anymore, the display continues to be white.
Could it be a problem with the battery? Or perhaps a problem wih the cable?
P.S: I did recharge the battery prior to my last attempts.
P.S.2: The camera model is an Olympus FE 5020.
P.S.3: I did test on two different usb ports.
