When connected via USB it doesnt show up in My Computer anymore, ive checked the hardware settings and it shows up as SE W800 so everythings installed correctly. It was working as of this morning but not anymore.

Any Ideas???

Thanks in advance.

Try rebooting pc and phone first of all.

If that fails, unplug everything and reinstall the SE software (don't install the software with either the cable/cradle or phone connected otherwise it simply won't work).
 
Also once you have it working, I would goto sony ericsson site, goto the support pages for the phone and update the firmware using the SE update tool

It will flash your phone with the latest firmware via usb cable
 
The new firmware fixes some issues with copying from pcs to the memory card. Well worth getting.

Everything working ok now

I've got the same problem, my w800i no longer registers on the pc when its attached via the usb cable. (although bluetooth is fine) When I plug the cable in it shows the phone as charging but after 4 hours the battery had actually lost 3-4% so its obviously not working! It all seems to have started since I tried to upgrade the firmware about 2 months ago. It obviously went wrong! Its like this on 4 seperate pcs so I know its not a one off. I contacted SE support and they couldn't help so suggested sending it back. I'm not sure whether its the phone or the cable thats dodgy so am a little apprehensive as they said they would charge me if they found it too be working!
