[QUOTE="starsurge, post: 1182455, member: 191701"] [b]Fried USBs?[/b] My problem is not quite like yours. It's probably more serious, and perhaps much more funny, if I could only laugh about it. :) Was using an external CD/DVD drive, and now neither USB will work. I fried my CD/DVD drive (my wonderful husband, without asking, plugged it into A/C power--it's supposed to run off of computer power!), and now I get the "USB drawing too much power" message, and neither USB will work. I've tried resetting PRAM and system profiler doesn't show anything is connected. I am running 10.6. OR, does anyone know of a good Firewire-USB cable? I know they're rare...but I'm desperate! I need USBs for my piano studio, not just my mouse. [/QUOTE]
