My T-stick was working fine until this morning, after I plug it in, this screen never changes:

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Pull it out plug it back in again.

I get this all the time on the zte's.

Only way to fix it is to shutdown the app and pull out the tstick.

If you have plugged it into a different usb port than what you originally installed the stick on it may not work. My one is always stuck on the same screen as your pic if i try using it on a different port.

Make sure the sim is Inserted correctly, On occasion my sim works it way up just enough to loose connection

Mine does this too quite often on XP, but is fine in Windows 7. Have to reinstall the software and reboot to get it going in XP again.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I have tried them but still no luck. The most likely issue, I thought, was the SIM card but it is in securely.

This is the biggest problem, I get this all the time too, can't remember which one i plugged it into in the morning before coffee. Just glows blue for a bit and doesn't detect, till I move it. Any ideas why it's only one particular USB slot the software detects?

I have moved across the ditch. Now residing in Melbourne as a VOIP/Video Technical Trainer/Engineer.

Thanks for all your suggestions - finally resolved the issue this morning. I uninstalled and reinstalled the T-stick, hopefully it will keep working from now on.
