Garmin 660 problem

Had my 660 for just over a year, it keeps on coming up with 'plugged into the wrong USB port' It's a bit annoying to say the least, any ideas guy's.

Are you using the Garmin supplied USB lead in one of the main sockets? (eg rear of desktop tower?) no hubs or any other USB devices connected.

I had this on mine last year and it was a faulty USB cable.

I had this on mine last year and it was a faulty USB cable.

Soory I meant to say, it comes up with the error message when attached to the bike, no error messages when plugged into the PC for upgrades etc.
I have cleaned all the pins on the cradle with isopropyl alcohol wipes thinking it was maybe a moistue broblem but I am still getting the same old intermittant feckin message.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jake.

Mine has done this for ages.
As it doesn't do it a lot I just ignore it. Not much of an answer I know.

I think it's moisture on the mount. Seems to do it more when raining.
I've not had it since I cleaned the mount and back of zumo and put a bit of acf50 on it.

My 660 is giving that message last time I used it. It did it before briefly, and iirc it just went away.
