You will need a data cable and not just a generic Mini USB cable.
Surely a generic cable is a data cable. A power-only cable is quite a specialist item.

I don't know about newer types, but there is definitely a difference for mini USB. Three people on this page alone (four if it is the same issue for the OP) have said they have first hand experience of the issue.

Some devices (that only need charging and not data) seem to come with them and then they end up in your pile of cables. I've definitely had a few and tend to bin them as soon as I discover so I don't keep having the problem.
Or they may just be shit cables.

Mini USB innit? You will need a data cable and not just a generic Mini USB cable. I had the same frustration with an old Edge 50 (i think).
