Computer lead

Post by Pockets »

Hi, looking for info regarding a lead to connect my 550 to the computer, I’ve just redecorated and managed to throw away my lead that I use to update my 550. The problem I have they are priced from 1.99 to 15+ pounds ( no pound sign on my keyboard) so I’m confused as to why? Should I just go for the cheapest, not sure why they are priced so far apart. I’m sure there must be plenty of other cables that would fit (phone, satnav’s) but again not sure what would be appropriate.
I’m sure you can enlighten me as to which do the job.

A £1.99 cable would more than suffice :)

Just check it's a data cable, some of the cheap ones only provide power.

Cheapest it is then, just found one at £1.80 (result) and found the £ on the key board (shift + 3) happy days.
