Problem with Kodak Easyshare V550

    Hi, I have a problem with connecting my Kodak to our PC. The USB cord won't connect into the camera (it fitted perfectly just a few weeks ago, and it's definitely the one I used before). The USB link itself connects into the computer okay, but the tiny connection for the camera itself just refuses to go in. It has always been okay in the past, but now it only goes in about a millimeter. It appears that, somehow, the area where the chord goes into the camera has blocked itself.
    The best I could get from Yahoo was to use a toothpick (sigh) and Kodak made me press lots of buttons on the phone (recorded prompts) before disconnecting me with no explanation or speaking to someone.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brian

    Good light, magnifying glass and a toothpick. Look for broken part of
    the USB plug or any other alien object in the camera socket. Next,

    Although you are sure that it is the right cable, check , check and
    check again. Our house is full of almost identical USB cables.
