Can't connect to computer with Data cable

Hi

I currently have two PSP Go’s and both are not connecting with my (pretty old) laptop, one has CFW 6.61 PRO-C∞ and the other still has the OFW 6.61. It just says Please Wait the whole time unless I connect it to a power outlet, where it says that I should connect the PSP to a PC or a PS3 with this cable. I also had the one with CFW already connected to my computer, which is how I put the CFW on there and how I modded it. I just haven’t used it in a while and now it just doesn’t connect with the computer anymore.

I currently also don’t have a way of testing it on another computer.

I have disabled the “USB Charge” setting, which the PSP recommends to draw less current, but to no avail.

I also don’t have any memory card in either of the PSP’s, So I can’t even use that to transfer stuff to the internal memory of the PSP later using a File manager that I installed.

It might be the cable, which would be a bummer, would have to order a new one online, but in the same time I’m not sure about that. It might also be the computer, but I also can’t find anything popping up in the Device Manager, so that I could update/reinstall the driver and I haven’t had any issue connecting anything else to my computer.

[EDIT] since the one with the CFW had some other issues, screen would often not turn on, I ended up tearing the two PSPs completely down and also modifying them by mix and matching the panels and switching the screen on the one with the CFW. The connection between computer and PSP still doesn’t work. At this point it must be the Computer or the Cable. I will check it on another computer this week to see if that changes anything.

Thanks!
