Great...which one? Nothing that I've unzipped detects and loads when I plug in. It detects a new device, searches but nothing picks up....

All it does when plugged in, is make the clunk sound. look at the phone, the battery should be blinking.

Make sure you use the powered usb port. I have 4 ports on this laptop and only 2 of them supply power. I can charge my Moto-Q off the laptop, and the charger is the same as the Razar.

Mike,

Go here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/razr_v3/

Once in the group, go to the "files" section. Driver you need is there.

I charge almost all of my small electronic devices via USB. Blackberry, Razr, Garmin GPS and so on. Keeps me from having to carry 3-4 chargers around with me on trips.

Ricks comment is also spot on, especially with laptops. Many laptops have USB ports in various places, so keep trying until you find one that works in charging.

Joe

PS as I am the admin on this group, chances are that you will be approved fairly quickly!

I would guess about 101% chance!

Lets talk about that on Monday. Would love to and was actually thinking about taking it to PMS here in town but if you are interested would rather help a friend.

I have some things going on in the next two days that will let me know more about my finances.

Thx,

Joe
