[QUOTE="Flosex, post: 178001, member: 15749"] I have a problem with the USB socket on my Nikon S8100 camera, but it could happen with any Nikon digital camera. This morning, when I went to download pictures from the camera to my laptop, I mistakenly used the USB cable for my wife's Akai digital camera (the cables are very similar). I only realised the mistake when the laptop didn't recognise the camera. I change to my Nikon cable and found it wouldn't fit into the camera socket properly. Closer examination shows the sprog inside the socket appears to have been damaged. Whereas I can get round downloading photographs by transferring them direct from the SD card, I cannot get round re-charging the camera battery. Is there a way round this, please? Also, is the camera socket repairable and/or can it be replaced? Thanks for any hep and/or advice. Flosex [/QUOTE]
