USB connection problem, no solder on pins?
I had been having intermittent connection problems between my EFILive V2 and my computer since I have had it. As long as I didn't move the EFILive it was fine so I never thought to much about it till the other day. I was in the middle of a complete ECM reflash and I bumped the thing and lost the connection, fortunately I was able to reflash and the ECM was OK but I didn't want to take any more chances.
I got a different USB cable to try that, no change. Thought I'd take the case apart on the EFILive and see and this is what I found.

Now I am no electronics guru but if I had to guess I am assuming those 4 studs off of the USB plug should be soldered to the board, right? Anyway I thought I'd post it up and see if anyone else had had similar problem and if there was a known recall that I happened to miss. I have no big deal with trying to solder the pins and seeing if that fixes my problem but will wait to see what others have to say...
Re: USB connection problem, no solder on pins?
So yours ended up being the same issue. That is pretty crappy. Not a "one off" issue I guess. Glad mine is not giving me grief.
