Cant find the USB hole

Try a factory reset. Try one of these:
1. Stick a pin in the reset hole.
2. Hold vol down (and home) while turning it on (not reset), hold until logo comes up.

Are you certain there isn't one? It will look like a raised circle perhaps mounted to the other side of the deck. Otherwise you can get 45 hole adapters on Amazon and E-bay they are very cheap. You only need one.

on the bottom right of sticker there is a little hole stick pin and reset controller then plug back in your usb cord it should work

use paperclip in hole in drive bezel.sounds like you need to replace it.or get usb external...29 bucks for dvd-rw external tiger direct.

The USB socket is toward the bottom on the left end of the camera (as you view it from the rear). Take a look at the illustrations on page 5 of the manual.

You can charge the battery either outside the camera using the supplied charger or inside the camera by connecting the camera via USB to a powered port. Be aware that not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge batteries.

Make Sure All your SERVICES are set up to run automatically because to at least get a removable drive option for the memorex it must install it like a USB jump drive. Pay attention to any dependencies that may keep some services from running including MSCONFIG set for a normal boot. Note the reset hole that can be used with a paper clip should the device lock up and you cant get it to respond. The lights might get stuck on with a blank display.

try a hard reset hold camara button and connection manager button and by using ur stylus press the reset button(small hole near usb pin)

I am not sure what make of laptop you have but most of them have whats called a pcmcia slot on the dside of the laptop. You can buy very inexpensively, a card that will fit into the pcmcia and will give u anywhere from two to 4 usb ports.
Hope this helps
