Sony EricssonSony Ericsson K, W and Z series phones use DCU-60 data cable. The drivers for these phones are extracted from “Sony Ericsson PC Suite v2.10.34” for downloading. Within them is a "DPInst.exe" file, which will install over 200 Windows driver packages for these phones onto your computer. A better approach is to install only the driver required by the phone manually.

Steps to install driver manually:

1Plug in your phone to the computer and choose “Phone mode” at the phone.

2Choose “No, not this time” when prompted to connect to Windows Update.

3Choose “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)”.

4Click “Include this location in the search” and browse for the driver location.

You need to repeat these steps several times for USB WMC Data Modem, USB WMC Modem, USB WMC OBEX Interface, USB WMC Device Management, USB Ethernet Emulation (WDM) and USB Ethernet Emulation (for Networking Device). Once it's done, the phone will get power from the cable and the battery will be charged.
