Broken connector cable for Pentax Optio 450

Sep 9, 2004 9:42PM PDT

I own a [digital] Pentax camera - Optio 450 - and one of the wires in the cable that connects the camera to my computer has come out, rendering the cable useless. Are these cables sold separately? can it be fixed? so far have learned nothing from 'pentax.ca' or from store where i bought it (other than that they do not sell cables separately)

Yes. The cables are sold too. I got a deal by buying a dock from compgeeks.com and it was cheaper than just the cable. So, go shopping.

I would just buy a card reader and forget the cable. I bought a Viking IntelliFlash USB 6 in 1 at Amazon.com for about $16.
