The computer does not see the e-book

Modern e-books in the eyes of readers of literature are becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to paper publications. Over time, in the process of improvement, they acquire an increasing number of useful functions and are equipped with more modern software. However, like any other technique, the e-book is not immune from minor malfunctions. Sometimes their owners encounter a problem when the computer to which the device is connected does not recognize it. This article will discuss the main causes of such problems, as well as tips on how to fix them yourself.

Why the computer may not see the e-book

There are a number of reasons why there may be no connection between a computer and an e-book, and it is customary for experts to divide them into two large groups:

• hardwarewhen the cause of the problem lies directly in the "stuffing" of a device;
• softwarewhen problems occur due to problems with the software of the laptop, computer, tablet or the device itself.

First of all, it is worth checking the status of the cable through which the electronic book is connected to the device. Most modern readers are equipped with a mini-USB cable, and if there is another such cable in the house, you must try to connect the book through it. In addition, it will be useful to check the cable inputs on both the computer and the device itself.

REFERENCE!If there are doubts about the serviceability of the port, you can select an input that is definitely working (for example, the one from which the keyboard works) and try to connect through it.

Sometimes a computer "does not see" a book simply because it is completely discharged. The solution in this case is simple - charging the reader. In addition, many computers may not see the e-book because too many ports are simultaneously used for different devices. Most modern keyboards, mice and other devices work precisely through USB-inputs, sometimes "overloading" the system.

REFERENCE! If the computer is equipped with a large number of ports, this does not mean that all of them can work simultaneously.

What to do if the computer does not see the e-book

For users who do not have deep experience in repairing computer equipment, there are only a few operations for self-troubleshooting with a reader. In addition to the methods described above, the user can:

1. Reboot device. You must first unplug the USB cable from it. This can help get rid of small software errors that inevitably occur during operation. On some models, the developer does not provide a reset button, and you can restart them by pressing and holding the power key.
2. Update driver.In order to do this, you need to call up the control panel on the desktop and go to the "Device Manager". Among the proposed list of devices, you need to find an e-book, then right-click on it and select the "Update drivers" function. If this does not help, you should select the "Delete" item, then turn off the device and restart all the equipment.
3. Try connecting to another device.This simple action will help you understand the root cause of the problem. Often it turns out that the reader cannot see only one computer, and on the rest, data about the device is read normally.

If all the actions listed in this material did not help to fix the problem, you should contact the repair service of the equipment. Specialists will be able to quickly and accurately identify an existing malfunction and return the device to full operation.
