New LEM X connection problems - SOLVED

My new LEM X would not connect via supplied USB charge / data lead.

I checked the MTK drivers.

I continuity tested the lead (it is data and power - as I expected for the LEMFO supplied lead).

I scratched my head, and worried that I am an idiot (it does happen).


I put on my extra glasses and inspected the contacts on the watch.

Then, I poked at the contacts with a sim tray tool.


Guess what?

There was a thin layer of transparent glue across half of one of the centre (data) contacts.

It covered just enough of the contact area to stop the spring-loaded terminal from making electrical contact.


I scratched it off.

Now it works.
