I think I need one of these USBs but the price is outrageous, and I want to know if anybody knows the name of the connector on the end.

is it used for something specific? if it's for a specific product, it might be propietary (might look similar but is wired differently)

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Yes, but doesn't USB carry a digital signal exclusively?

About 5 years ago I bought this watch from ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Spy-Wrist-Watch-8GB-Recorder-Hidden-Video-Camera-Waterproof-HD-Camcorder-DVR/142402908816

 

 I found the watch today and want to see if anything is on it, the USB is in one of the pictures. I tried putting a 3.5mm headphone into it but it didn't fit, from measuring the connector and another cord that I have which looks like it fits but is too small I think its a 2.5mm jack. 

 

 

 

the cord I found which is too small is this one

That cable looks like the lead for the old iPod shuffle, it didn't have a USB port on it so you use that instead. It also looks like the call that I have to power the amplifier for my TV aerial. 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

you need to make sure you get a cable that works with your item.. you could be unlucky and find a cable that looks identical but turns out + and - are reversed, frying your item..

Was gonna say the same - the iPod shuffle (right up til the last model) used USB to 3.5 for charging and syncing with iTunes.

Any device that uses this specific type of cable is wired to accept digital communication and output analogue audio.

The iPod Shuffle's 3rd and 4th gen used 3.5mm cables.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
