Any tips for a G4 that charges fine, but won't connect to the PC for sync/upgrade purposes? I've swapped out the cables and have done a hard reset of the pager. The PC doesn't make the "hardware connected" sound and PPS does not recognize the radio at all. Thanks!

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Won't connect to PC

Try downloading and re-installing driver, make sure the pager is on when you are trying to connect. What operating system (PC) are you trying to connect to, what PPS and Firmware version are you using?
All this helps us help you.
Already tried re-installing the drivers... Also worth noting I have several G4/G5's with me and they're all connecting fine, except for this one G4. It's got V0.93-0.17K-R02 currently and I'm trying to update it.
