Well I had been using it before it died. The light still works but the computer won't recognize it.
There really isn't much to it that I can see.
I can see that it is a switch now that you've pointed it out, thanks for that, it could be for taking pictures but I never used it.
It was just plug and play.
It appears in device manager and disappears when I unplug the usb cable which is part of the microscope.
It also beeps through the speaker.
That could be the problem, could that round plug be a splice just up from the usb connector?
I've been very careful using it, even built a wooden box to store it in.
I have been in contact with Andy, Andonstar tech and he attempted to get my microscope going and when we couldn't he sent me a new one free of charge and I'm back in business.
I offered to send the broken one back to him.
I'm really impressed with their customer service, not use to that.
