[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1110130, member: 46727"] I missed that. It's beginning to sound more like a defective USB bus - possibly a short. That might even indicate a motherboard problem. I've had a USB bus go out altogether on a PC desktop. It was due to a faulty motherboard. The work around was to go into CMOS setup, shut off the built in USB and install a PCI USB card. That worked. So perhaps what csegeek recommended might work. The only thing is that usually the PCMCIA input is tied directly to the MB. Let us know if it works. [/QUOTE]
