How to fix MiFi 2200 that VZ Access Mgr can't find (no status light)?

I have a new Verizon MiFi 2200 I am trying to get running.  VZAM software was downloaded successfully.  Windows (XP SP3) Device Manager recognizes the phone as a modem when I plug it into the USB. It shows the drivers were installed.    If I press the master reset with a paper clip, device manager drops the the modem out, and then picks it up again right away.  Unfortunately, the windows modem query does not get an answer back.  And, VZAM software doesn't find it as a device either.
I have a solid green power light.  But, there status/activity light won't come on.  Pressing the power light didn't fix it.  Pressing the master reset didn't fix it, either.
I reinstalled the VZAM software.  I tried  another laptop running Windows 7 - still no communication.  VZAM downloaded the firmware update.  When it tried to install it, it could could not write it into the MiFi.
The Verizon tech service phone people tried to tell me I need to buy service first, before the computer software can communicate with the WiFi, but that is NOT what the manual says.  It sounds like a hardware issue to me.
So, any highly experienced people ---- shall I send this boat anchor back, or do you have suggestions for another route I can go???
Thanks for your help.

I got partway.  I went to a VZW store and they got me a phone number, linked to the inherent device number.  Then, it became apprarent that the device is defective. My supplier is sending out a new one,  I'll be travelling a lot, and won't be there to receive it for a while, then back on the road again.  I'll check back in when this gets resolved,
Thanks for the reply

  • How to fix iframe issue that displays XML values instead of formatted XML in IE11

    The following sub.jsp file shows the formatted XML properly as expected when is opened directly:
    <% response.setContentType("text/xml"); %>
    <book>
    <chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1>
    <chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2>
    </book>
    IE11 shows the result as below which are colored and can be collapsed or un-collapsed:
    <book><chapter1>chapter 1</chapter1><chapter2>chapter 2</chapter2></book>
    But if the sub.jsp is opened in an iframe from the below main.html, it only shows the values of the XML in the iframe:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <title>Insert title here</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <iframe src="sub.jsp"></iframe>
    </body>
    </html>
    The iframe shows only the XML values, i.e., chapter 1 chapter 2 in IE11. This issue does not happen in IE8.
    I appreciate to your if you know how to address this issue.

    It may be due to Continuity

    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • How to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

    how to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

    Are you sure you have a shuffle?  There is no "repeat" setting on a shuffle, unlike other iPods, such as the nano.
    The only reason a single song would repeat on a shuffle, is if you have a playlist with only one song, and you have selected that playlist using VoiceOver (or there is only one song on the shuffle).

  • Upgrade Time... From UM175 USB to ? Fivespot or MiFi 2200 that is the question.

    It's time for an upgrade on my UM175 USB broadband device. It has worked well but my family needs more access (3 pc's). So I have two options.
    1. the Fivespot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hotspot
     or
    2. the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
    I can't see any real difference between them except for the Fivespot being "global ready", which I don't need. I am in a fringe area so I need a strong unit (typically get 2 to 3 bars with the UM175).
    Any information on either of these will be helpful.
    Thanks!

    If you don't have it in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then if it is still in the store then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • HT4539 I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded.  Can anyone help?

    I have forgotten how to "read" a book that I downloaded.  Can anyone help?  Also, how would I download it to my documents for future reading or printing?  I am very new to this process.

    If it's an ibook that you've downloaded from iTunes then (if you don't already have it installed) you need to download the iBooks app to your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch (an ibook can't be read on a Mac or PC), and you can then either (if you have the book on your computer) sync the book to your device via your computer's iTunes or re-download it directly in the iBooks app on the device (re-downloading).
    To sync a book to the iBooks app, connect your device to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync the book to the iBooks app.
    There is a chapter on the iBooks app in the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch's manual : http://support.apple.com/manuals/
