[QUOTE="pod, post: 1110025, member: 7855"] I understand what you are saying above but what seems strange is that it is a recent problem: the external HD, iPod and camera have connected without problem for the last 18 months or so. I'll look in to the idea of a powered USB hub. Thanks. Also, as I wrote in my initial post: 'I have also tried connecting just a USB lead with no device on the other end to her laptop and this also causes shut down.', which would suggest the fault is something other than USB power bus being exceeded, as just a cable wouldn't be drawing any power?
