[Hackrf-dev] HackRF dies .. our findings

[william hatch]

Dominic,
These were independent issues. 1) a batch of three 12 inch micro USB to USB cables form Amazon were all defective.The radios were fine. For the small $ amount involved it was not worth following up with the seller of the cables.  2) One radio out of 5 that we have purchased had an intermitent disconnect in the radio's USB port. 

I have asked the person who detected and fixed the radio USB port to send you any details.

Ah a faulty cable, it's often the first thing we check, but I was
thrown by the two HackRFs having a similar problem.

I'm interested in this.  Could you elaborate on what was wrong with
the USB port and how it was fixed?

Thanks,
