Got A Problem With Sony Ericsson Xperia USB Debugging Driver?

- You want to flash/root/unlock bootloader using FlashTool but the driver is not installed properly?
- You can use FlashTool to check the driver.
- Enable USB debugging on your device, connect USB cable from PC to phone, wait until driver finished install, run Android Driver Installer, it will then search the driver and install it.
- The driver may not passed windows driver validation/compatibility but I tested on Xperia Sola with no problem.

Repair Your Mouse USB Port or Cable DIY

- Cheap computer mouse usually got problems with USB port or cable.
- To change the cable, you need to buy a new USB cable, or if you can reuse any usb cable from other broken mouse or usb cable from keyboard or anything, as long as it has 4 wires inside.
- I fixed a Logitech M100 USB mouse by cutting the USB port and replace it with others as the USB wire inside the port usually bend and broken.

Protect Your PC From Autorun Virus (External USB Drive)

- Free antivirus like Avira also protects you from autorun viruses.
- But sometimes, slower PC is not recommended to use antivirus as it will make the PC even slower.
- So I use this lightweight and fast tool to protect my PC from autorun viruses, Autorun Eater.
- It simply detect USB pendrive/external drive, then search for autorun file and delete it.
- It will protect you from the autorun, if you explore the drive manually then you are at your own risk. But as precautions, please always scan your USB pendrive/external drive using antivirus or spyware remover program first before using it.
- You can download Autorun Eater here, and it's free (but donation is always welcome).
