Start 50 'not connected'

Hi,

I have a Start 50 last updated in April 2020 and when I went to install the new updates the MyDrive Connect app says the device isn't connected.

I have used original leads and different USB ports and even tried a different laptop but still it does not detect the SatNav. Has anyone else had this problem and have you managed to resolve it.

Thanks

RichieMcC

    Hi VikramK,

    Thank you for your post. I have tried everything suggested in those links but the device still won't connect to laptop. It does take a charge when plugged in, but the laptop or 'MyDrive Connect' doesn't connect to it.

    Regards,

    I have a somewhat similar problem as RichieMcC. I have a Go50 which WILL connect with my Mac that has USB A ports and allow me to connect directly. I have a new Mac, however which only has USB C ports on it. I have purchased a USB -c Hub for the new Mac (CZHoon Adapter). When I plug Go50 into this hub it is receiving a charge (I know this because the Go50 turns on) but MyConnect says the device is not connected. I contacted CZHoon and they indicate it is likely a driver for the Go50 needs to be updated. Can you help here?
